| Abstract | "This book looks at the political aspects of comedy and how unconscious social and psychological factors within a cultural and historical context shape it. Updating Freud's work on jokes, Samuels argues that any universal model of comedy must account for the role played by distinct genres, which are determined by political psychopathologies"-- Provided by publisher. |
