Title: The Death of Comedy
Description: Harvard University Press, 2001. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 589. In a grand tour of comic theater over the centuries, Erich Segal traces the evolution of the classical form from its early origins in a misogynistic quip by the sixth-century B.C. Susarion, through countless weddings and happy endings, to the exasperated monosyllables of Samuel Beckett. With fitting wit, profound erudition lightly worn, and instructive examples from the mildly amusing to the uproarious, his book fully illustrates comedy's glorious life cycle from its first breath to its death in the Theater of the Absurd. ISBN: 9780674006430. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
