About the book

It does so in relation to philosophy, politics, and key nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary texts, by Edgar Allan Poe, Edmund Gosse, Wyndham Lewis and Katherine Mansfield - texts which explore the far reaches of Schadenfreude, and so-called 'superiority theories' of laughter, pushing these theories to breaking point.
