An Essay on Comedy is a non-fiction book written by George Meredith. The book is a critical analysis of the nature of comedy and its role in society. The author discusses the different types of comedy, the elements that make a comedy successful, and the relationship between comedy and tragedy. The book also explores the psychological and social aspects of comedy, including the ways in which it can be used to challenge social norms and conventions. Meredith draws on examples from literature, theater, and everyday life to illustrate his points, and provides insightful commentary on the works of Shakespeare, Moliere, and other great writers. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of comedy, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest literary critics of the 19th century.When she has frolicked through her five Acts to surprise you with the information that Mr. Aimwell is converted by a sudden death in the world outside the scenes into Lord Aimwell, and can marry the lady in the light of day, it is to the credit of her vivacious nature that she does not anticipate your calling her Farce.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
