Double-weighted statement
Coxon’s monograph is based on a detailed examination of primary sources, some published, others in manuscript, and a reading of modern critical literature on comedy and laughter. Each main chapter is an original piece of research on a large body of material (around 100 primary texts) which combines close readings of numerous individual texts with an overview of the respective literary tradition as a whole. The research questions (such as laughter as a narrative motif, comic time and space) were borne directly out of teaching one specific undergraduate course at UCL over a number of years.
