Necessary madness : the humor of domesticity in nineteenth-century American literature /
This work offers an examination of the ways humour was used by major fiction writers in 19th-century America. It argues that humour served as an important tool to manage the ideology of domesticity so prevalent at the time, and shows how gender comes to bear upon comic techniques and sensibilities.
