Laughter, Power, and the Unconscious presents groundbreaking research on humor's psychological and sociopolitical aspects. Based on Shakespeare's Globe experiments, it proposes humor as "manic defence," challenging Freudian theory while examining Renaissance comedy and exploring how humor both subverts and reinforces power structures.
