Humanist Comic Elements in Aristophanes and the Old Testament Hardback
by Benjamin Lazarus
Part of the Biblical Intersections series
Hardback
- Information
Description
Lazarus compares and discusses comic elements used for didactic purposes in two separate literary traditions: Old Testament narrative and Aristophanic Comedies.
Given that humour relies on taking people's ideas of what is normal and making them incongruous, this volume examines these very different texts to see how they use that comic incongruity to help define what it means to be human within the hierarchy of the universe.
