| 520 | _a"An Essay towards Fixing the True Standards of Wit, Humour, Raillery, Satire, and Ridicule" by Corbyn Morris is a philosophical essay written in the early 18th century. The work aims to clarify the distinctions and meanings of various literary concepts, primarily focusing on wit and humour. Morris seeks to provide precise definitions and examples, critiquing the inadequacies of previous definitions put forth by notable authors like Dryden, Locke, and Addison. The opening of the essay sets the stage for Morris's exploration of these themes by acknowledging the complexity of defining wit and humour. He argues against a mere acceptance of earlier works and emphasizes the necessity for original inquiry to advance literary understanding. Morris also introduces key concepts and offers a comparison of familiar examples from literature that demonstrate the nuances between wit and humour, laying a foundation for his exploration and criticism of established literary figures and definitions. The initial chapters create a compelling narrative that invites readers to consider the nature of these artistic expressions and their relevance in literature and society.
