At the foot of the Cross, as Jesus hung in agony, the crowd laughed. Christians, ever since, have been ambivalent about laughter. Debates about Christian laughter had a profound influence on many great humanist writers, including Erasmus and Rabelais. Here, Michael Screech illuminates the background to their writing and their individual achievements. 'Elegant and stimulating' Karen Armstrong, Independent
M.A Screech is an Extraordinary Fellow of Wolfson College, an Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Society of Literature, and Fellow of University College, London. His other books include MONTAIGNE'S COMPLETE ESSAYS and MONTAIGNE AND MELANCHOLY.
