| 520 | _a"History of English Humour, Vol. 2" by A. G. K. L'Estrange is a scholarly examination of humor in English literature written in the late 19th century. The work delves into various aspects of English humor through detailed analysis of prominent writers, their styles, and the evolution of comedic forms such as parody and burlesque. The author's intent is to shed light on how humor has been reflected across different eras and genres, showcasing a wide range of works and their implications within society. The opening of this volume introduces the concept of burlesque and parody, explaining their roles in humor through the lens of notable figures like John Philips, Alexander Pope, and Ambrose Philips. L'Estrange discusses significant parodies such as the "Splendid Shilling," highlighting how these literary forms have created connections between societal observations and personal grievances. He sets the stage for exploring additional chapters dedicated to the works of other humorists, emphasizing how humor can serve both as entertainment and as a mirror to societal norms and conditions.
