Description
The Luso-Hispanic world, with the three religions of its medieval centuries with its early-modern projection to new continents and new peoples, with its rich localism and linguistic diversity, its constant juxtaposition of violently differing life experiences, and the formidable, ultimately futile, mechanisms of constraint which sought to simplify and contain all this, may well have been especially rich in the kinds of intersections which motivate humor..There is in the present volume of essays a freshness of engagement with important topics. (From the Preface) Nicholas G. Round (retired), Sheffield University, Fellow of the British Academy
