He considers irony, hyperbole, wordplay, jokes, dialogue, humour as philosophical speculation, and plagiarism. - ;The culmination of a lifetime's fascination with humour in all its forms, this book is the first in any language to embrace such an impressive span of authors and such a broad range of topics in French literary humour.

Geometry of lines; Bibliography; Index. 330 $aAlgebraic geometry has benefited enormously from the powerful general machinery developed in the latter half of the twentieth century. The cost has been that much of the research of previous generations is in a language unintelligible to modern workers, in particular, the rich legacy of classical algebraic geometry, such as plane algebraic curves of low degree, special algebraic surfaces, theta functions, Cremona transformations, the theory of apolarity and the geometry of lines in projective spaces. The author's contemporary approach makes this legacy accessible to modern algebraic geometers and to others who are interested in applying classical results. The vast bibliography of over 600 references is complemented by an array of exercises that extend or exemplify results given in the book. 606 $aGeometry, Algebraic 615 0$aGeometry, Algebraic. 676 $a516.3/5 686 $aMAT038000$2bisacsh 700 $aDolgachev$b I$g(Igor V.),$0149516 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785799003321 996 $aClassical algebraic geometry$93709442 997 $aUNINA
