Exploring the intricacies of humor in British and American novels, this book presents a systematic theory that reveals humor's dynamic role in shaping relationships within historical and cultural contexts. Analyzing various genres from the 18th century to postmodernism, it offers innovative readings of notable authors like Fielding, Twain, and Woolf. The work emphasizes humor as a network of perspectives that transcends the text, uncovering moral values through incongruity and the fluid dissemination of meaning.
