Charles IDickens s e
leading quality was
Humour :
so declared his friend and biographer, John
Forster.
Dickens was acclaimed (in
χ
870,
the year
of his death) as the greatest English Humourist
since Shakespeare s time . How does Dickens
make his readers laugh? What is the distinctive
character of Dickensian laughter?
Tľhese
are the
questions explored in this book on a topic that,
given Dickens s reputation as one of our greatest
humourists, has been somewhat neglected in
critical studies over the last half century.
This book is framed as a series of essays examining
and reflecting on Dickens s techniques for making
us laugh. How is it that some written incident, or
speech, or narrative aside* can fire off the page
into the reader s consciousness and jolt him or her
into a smile, a giggle, or a hearty laugh? That is
the core cinestion here. Dickens s first novel,

acclaimed at the time as
having opened a fresh vein ofhumour in English
literature: what was the nature of the humour that
established this trademark Dickensian method
of

ng people laugh?
J^nó.
how many kinds of
laughter are there in Dickens? What made Dickens
himself laugh? Victorian and contemporary
theories of laughter can provide useful insights
into these processes
---
incongruity theory, the
relief tlneory of laughter, laughter s contagious¬
ness (laughter as a social glue ), the art of comic
timing, the
η
euro science of laughter. These and
other ideas are brought into play in this study,
which considers not only Dickens s novels but also
his letters and journalism. To that end there are
copious quotations .The aim of the book is to make
readers laugh and also to prompt them to reflect
on their laughter. It should have an interest not
only for IDickensians but for anyone curious about
the nature of laughter and how it is triggered.
