Laughing at Credulity and Superstition in the Long Eighteenth Century -- $t Backmatter 330 $aDespite popular opinions of the 'dark Middle Ages' and a 'gloomy early modern age,' many people laughed, smiled, giggled, chuckled, entertained and ridiculed each other. This volume demonstrates how important laughter had been at times and how diverse the situations proved to be in which people laughed, and this from late antiquity to the eighteenth century. The contributions examine a wide gamut of significant cases of laughter in literary texts, historical documents, and art works where laughter determined the relationship among people. In fact, laughter emerges as a kaleidoscopic phenomenon reflecting divine joy, bitter hatred and contempt, satirical perspectives and parodic intentions. In some examples protagonists laughed out of sheer happiness and delight, in others because they felt anxiety and insecurity. It is much more difficult to detect premodern sculptures of laughing figures, but they also existed. Laughter reflected a variety of concerns, interests, and intentions, and the collective approach in this volume to laughter in the past opens many new windows to the history of mentality, social and religious conditions, gender relationships, and power structures. 410 0$aFundamentals of medieval and early modern culture ;$v5. 606 $aLaughter in literature 606 $aHumor in literature 606 $aLaughter$xHistory 606 $aWit and humor$xHistory 606 $aLaughter$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaughter$xReligious aspects 606 $aWit and humor, Medieval 606 $aWit and humor$xHistory and criticism 610 $aLaughter / in Literature. 615 0$aLaughter in literature. 615 0$aHumor in literature. 615 0$aLaughter$xHistory. 615 0$aWit and humor$xHistory. 615 0$aLaughter$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaughter$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aWit and humor, Medieval. 615 0$aWit and humor$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.93354 686 $aGF 6377$2rvk 701 $aClassen$b Albrecht$016691 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780719403321 996 $aLaughter in the Middle Ages and early modern times$93758080 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01945nas 2200637-a 450 001 996206880303316 005 20230522213016.0 011 $a2044-8279 024 7 $aLB1051.A2 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB1501130-6 035 $a(OCoLC)43904387 035 $a(CKB)954925254118 035 $a(CONSER)---00238523- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954925254118 100 $a20000421a19319999 s-- - 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmnu|||||||| 135 $aurbn||||||abp 135 $aurbn||||||ada 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aBritish journal of educational psychology 210 $aLeicester, U.K. $cBritish Psychology Society 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from contents screen caption (viewed Apr. 20, 2000). 311 $a0007-0998 531 $aBR J EDUC PSYCHOL 531 $aBRIT J EDUC PSYCHOL 531 $aBRITISH JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY 531 $aBR.
