In Praise of Comedy is a study of comedy in theory and practice, tracing the meaning and function of comedy across drama, philosophy, history, and culture. Feibleman examines comedy not only as entertainment, but as a way of understanding human behaviour, social order, contradiction, absurdity, and the comic imagination.
