This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthology of Humorous Verse Poet. I have been more influenced by the treat ment - and occasionally by the subject - Of a poem than by its authorship or date. In the early days, soon after Chaucer, we are in an epoch of rough physical humour, of drinking songs, of simple fables; when law-suits and money, the unknown king and his outspoken subject, the Church and the Devil, provided the stock elements of laughter. There was a directness and a vital strength about these singers which I seem to see reflected in the bold detail-carvings of the Gothic Cathedrals, where Humour treads upon the heels of the Grotesque, and laughter is sometimes very near akin to tears. Not until the spacious days of Elizabethan literature does this weight of inevitable realism begin to lift. Soon afterwards, the Cavaliers were among the most delightful lyrists in the world, but rather in the passionate than the humorous Vein and after these again there is an interval, an interregnum, in which it may be recognised that the old style is dead, and the new one has not been born. Of this is the long newsletter, meant to be witty, and occasionally humorous. But the charm of the ancient days had vanished, without being as yet replaced by any compensating skill. The old stories had all been told, and there was no one to touch them with a new life or to find fresh sub jects for his verse. The unfortunate repetition which comes from lack of ideas became common, and the Primitive Jest flourished in the land only not perishing outright because, in Rabelais phrase, it was in one form or another an essential human attribute. As Mr. Andrew Lang has sung. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book From Bard to Verse: An Anthology of Humorous Poetry written by Steven Pearlman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an anthology of humorous poetry that has been 40 years in the making. I'm not going as far back as my silly limerick about a gorilla which I wrote when I was nine or ten but I do remember the pleasure I got in composing it and in making other children laugh with it. I suppose my 'serious' attempts at humorous poetry began at Bradford University where I was the unofficial resident poet at a fortnightly folk club in the cellar of the Catholic chaplaincy. I felt obliged to inflict my warped observations and tortuous puns on whoever remained in the room. I love the way a whole poem can grow from just one observation, one comment, one pun. I find that developing that idea and playing around with words, even parts of words, to be a deeply satisfying process. I use humorous poetry as a way of expressing my opinions, feelings or personality in a brief, easily accessible and hopefully entertaining way. Enjoy/endure.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Book of Comic Verse by : John Gross
Download or read book The Oxford Book of Comic Verse written by John Gross and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Chaucer to Vikram Seth and Victoria Wood; from Byron to John Updike; from Augustan satire to advertising jingles; from G. K. Chesterton to Wendy Cope - this superb anthology is notable above all for its breadth. It is truly international in scope, bringing together poets from far beyond the British Isles. Drawing on many different types of verse, from epigrams to street ballads, from clerihew to music-hall lyrics, from the double-dactyl of the calypso, it offers an exceptionally widerange of comic pleasures. The poems in this collection are by turns subtle, down-to-earth, macabre, ingenious, acerbic, ribald, and cheerful; written to amuse, they call forth laughter and delight in equal measure. The established classics of comic verse, writers such as Tom Hood, W. S. Gilbert, and Ogden Nash, are represented in force, but many unfamiliar or unexpected names are also included; so are many recent writers - the classics of the future. This collection undoubtedly contains matterof great historical interest, but the emphasis throughout is firmly on enjoyment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anthology of Humorous Verse: From Robert Herrick to Owen Seaman In presenting this volume, the compilers wish to state that they do not put it forward as a collection of masterpieces of humorous verse. Many masterpieces are included, but the object of the compilers has been not only to bring together the best humorous verse in the language between Robert Herrick and Owen Seaman, but also to give representative specimens of the work of these writers whose efforts were acclaimed as successful by their contemporaries. The absence of one or two modern writers is due to their works not being available; but most authors and publishers, with generous courtesy, have permitted the insertion of such copyright poems as were desired.
