Was ancient Rome a carnival, filled with practical jokes and hearty chuckles? Or was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to fear-a world of wit, irony, and knowing smiles? How did Romans make sense of laughter? What role did it play in the world of the law courts, the imperial palace, or the spectacles of the arena? Laughter in Ancient Rome explores one of the most intriguing, but also trickiest, of historical subjects. Drawing on a wide range of Roman writing-from essays on rhetoric to a surviving Roman joke book-Mary Beard tracks down the giggles, smirks, and guffaws of the ancient Romans themselves. From ancient "monkey business" to the role of a chuckle in a culture of tyranny, she explores Roman humor from the hilarious, to the momentous, to the surprising.  But she also reflects on even bigger historical questions. What kind of history of laughter can we possibly tell? Can we ever really "get" the Romans' jokes? 410 0$aSather classical lectures ;$v71$w(DE-605)HT018717817 606 $aLaughter$zRome$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLatin wit and humor$xHistory and criticism 607 $aRome$xSocial life and customs 610 $aancient literary criticism. 610 $aancient rome. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aapproachable scholarship. 610 $aclassical literature. 610 $aconversational. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aessays on rhetoric. 610 $afunny. 610 $ahistory of ancient rome. 610 $ahistory of laughter. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahumor and drama. 610 $ahumor. 610 $ainviting. 610 $ajokes. 610 $alaughter. 610 $aliterary analysis. 610 $amonkey business. 610 $aperforming arts. 610 $apurpose of laughter. 610 $aroman culture. 610 $aroman history. 610 $aroman humor. 610 $aroman joke book. 610 $aroman writing. 610 $asather classical lectures. 610 $atheories of humor. 615 0$aLaughter$xHistory 615 0$aLatin wit and humor$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a152.4/30937 686 $aHIS002000$aLIT004190$aPOL010000$2bisacsh 700 $aBeard$b Mary$f1955-$0163582 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813328103321 996 $aLaughter in ancient Rome$93967885 997 $aUNINA
