American Humour: A Study of the National Character Book

Stepping out of the darkness, the American emerges upon the stage of history as a new character, as puzzling to himself as to others. Constance Rourke's pioneering "study of the national character" examines such legendary figures as the Yankee, the backwoodsman, the minstrel singer, and the stroller to show how the popular comic imagination has contributed to America's changing self-awareness. American Humor, a classic of cultural history, crackles with the jibes and jokes of generations, while presenting a striking picture of a vagabond nation in perpetual self-pursuit.Read More
