Humorous Structures of English Narratives, 1200-1600

We all have the ability to recognize and create humour. But how do we do it? Salvatore Attardo and Victor Raskin have attempted to explain the workings of humour with their General Theory of Verbal Humor. How well does their theory explain the way humour ‘works’ in a particular text, and can it provide us with interesting, novel interpretations? By identifying and interpreting the narrative structures that create humour, this study tests the usefulness of Attardo & Raskin’s humour theory on a specific corpus of fabliaux, parodies and tragedies. Hamilton proposes a supplementation of the General Theory of Verbal Humor to create a means of undertaking what she calls a ‘humorist reading’. By posing the questions ‘why is this humorous?’, ‘how is it humorous?’ or ‘why is it not humorous?’ and providing the theoretical tools to answer them, a ‘humorist reading’ can make a valuable contribution to our understanding of a literary text and its place in society.

Well here it is, the beginning of a new adventure, a life together before God. Sometimes in order to find what your looking for you have to stop looking. For those of us who spent much of our adult lives single we have heard those words many times. The truth behind them does not make them easy to hear. Well at long last I have found the love of my life. But I didn't stop my search as I was instructed, I simply trusted God for the results. The Bible says that faith without works is dead. It was when I made God the delight of my heart that he gave me His great reward. I gave my heart unto God, withholding nothing for myself and God filled it. This book is a collaboration of poetry between myself and my wife Theresa. Please enjoy this book and celebrate God's richest blessings with us as we beginning our new life together before Almighty God.
