Recenzii

Reviews for the 1966 paperback impression:
‘Every reader of good literature will enjoy this interesting study of typical works of drama and narrative from Chaucer to Shaw illustrating the comic spirit.’ The Guardian
‘This will prove a valuable handbook to the student of English literature, and a welcome addition to any library, not least because it will send the reader post-haste to renew acquaintanceship with some of the most polished and humane achievements of the English genius.’  Church Times
‘Mr Potts’ discussion of the development of comic writing, from Chaucer to Shaw, gives within a small compass a useful summary of material not, I think, found in one succinct volume elsewhere.’  Poetry Review
