Author:  Barbara Korte,  Doris Lechner 

One tends to associate history with serious modes of presentation rather than with humorous ones. Yet Clio also smiles and laughs out loud: Comic renderings of historical events and figures have made a significant contribution to »popular« history since around 1800. This volume offers case studies on history and humour in Britain and the US from 1800 to the present, discussing various historical topics, actors and events from the Middle Ages to the recent past.

Table of contents: 

  1. History and Humour: Charting the Field

  2. The Persistent Regency: The Presence of the Past in Victorian Illustrated Comic Literature

  3. Richard Doyle’s Comic Histories: A Victorian Look at the Middle Ages

  4. History ‘from below’: Stanley Holloway’s Monologues for the Variety Stage

  5. Merrying the Monarch: Charles II in Historical Comedies (1800 to the Present)

  6. On Boots, Beef, and Blackadder: The Comic Historiography of the Duke of Wellington
