ISBN: 9780199601714 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This Very Short Introduction explores comedy both as a literary genre, and as a range of non-literary phenomena, experiences and events. Matthew Bevis studies the classics of comic drama, prose fiction and poetry, alongside forms of pantomime, comic opera, silent cinema, popular...
