| 520 | _a"The Complete Works of Artemus Ward" by Artemus Ward is a collection of humorous writings written during the mid-19th century. The book features a variety of essays, sketches, and letters that reflect the comedic and satirical observations of Charles Farrar Browne, the man behind the pseudonym Artemis Ward, who became known for his wit and unique style. The writings delve into various topics, including social issues, personal anecdotes from his life as a showman, and commentary on contemporary events, with an emphasis on the absurdities of human nature. At the start of the work, we are introduced to the author through a biographical sketch that recounts his upbringing and his path to becoming a celebrated humorist. The opening chapters present a rich tapestry of his encounters within the entertainment world, showcasing his interactions with both audience and celebrities, including notable historical figures. Noteworthy pieces such as his "business letters" humorously detail his showman's perspective, using a distinct speech style that underscores the comical content. Additionally, Ward's satirical views on religion, politics, and societal norms provide insight into the culture of his time, all delivered with a sharp humor that reflects both charm and social critique.
