Zusammenfassung

In 1893, Friedrich Engels branded history 'the cruelest goddess of all'. This sorrowful vision of the past is deeply rooted in the Western imagination, and history is thus presented as a joyless playground of inevitability rather than a droll world of possibilities. This book emphasizes the many oft-overlooked comical renderings of history.

Historical Comedy on Screen Zusammenfassung

Historical Comedy on Screen: Subverting History with Humour Hannu Salmi (University of Turku)

In 1893 Friedrich Engels branded history the cruelest goddess of all. This sorrowful vision of the past is deeply rooted in the Western imagination, and history is thus presented as a joyless playground of inevitability rather than a droll world of possibilities. There are few places this is more evident than in historical cinema which tends to portray the past in a somber manner.

Historical Comedy on Screen examines this tendency paying particular attention to the themes most difficult to laugh at and exploring the place where comical and historical storytelling intersect. Thebook emphasizes the many oft-overlooked comical renderings of history and asks what they have to tell us if we begin to take them seriously.
