The Comic Spirit and Its Social Power in Daily Life
A dense meditation on how humor and the comic shape society spanning classes from high to low. It argues laughter lifts spirits, lights daily life, and tempers sorrow, while warning overindulgence can corrode tastes and morals. An anecdote ends with a bridge incident and a quip about Americans shouting look out.
