Inhaltsangabe:
- Biographical note: Barbara Korte is professor of English Literature at the University of Freiburg, Germany. Doris Lechner is researching popular history in Victorian family magazines for her PhD in English Studies at the University of Freiburg, Germany
- Main description: One tends to associate history with serious modes of presentation rather than with humorous ones. Yet Clio also smiles and laughs out loud: Comic renderings of historical events and figures have made a significant contribution to »popular« history since around 1800. This volume offers case studies on history and humour in Britain and the US from 1800 to the present, discussing various historical topics, actors and events from the Middle Ages to the recent past
