It deals with very important issues in an informed and illuminating way.' John Marks, University of Nottingham Reviews 'This is a well-researched, accessible and timely book. It deals with very important issues in an informed and illuminating way.' John Marks, University of Nottingham ‘Ervine’s monograph is one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking monographs I have recently read… making us think and reconsider our own assumptions as humour analysts and problematizing concepts and arguments we take for granted concerning, among many other things, the “innocuous”, “inconsequential”, “playful”, or “subversive” character of humour and its “primarily” entertaining function in the public sphere.’ Villy Tsakona, European Journal of Humour Research Author InformationJonathan Ervine is a Senior Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies at Bangor University.
