Reviews Of Stephen Leacock: His Remarkable Life

http://www.fitzhenry.ca/r1550416006.htm

Extractions: "Bethca not many casual readers know that Orillia satirist Stephen Butler Leacock was in his real life an economist, too - and that his book Elements of Political Science outsold even such revered Leacock fiction titles as Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town in his rich and long lifetime, which stretched from the reign of Queen Victoria to World War II. Poet Albert Moritz and literary biographer Theresa Moritz, co-authors of The Oxford Illustrated Literary Guide to Canada and a biography of Emma Goldman, range from the humorist's native Britain to the Canadian bush, his economic training in Chicago, to McGill and his rise as bestselling author in Stephen Leacock: His Remarkable Life - Toronto Star In 1919, Stephen Leacock was approaching the absolute height of his fame as a humourist. Demand for his personal appearances was also nearing a peak. Meeting him on one such occasion, a famous English professor from Harvard shook his hand warmly. "I'm so glad to have the opportunity of meeting you," the man said. "My children read your books." "Thank you," Leacock replied. "My mother reads yours."

Extractions: Jeden mùj dobrý známý mi na pøedvánoèní veèírek do parlamentu pøinesl kopii èlánku, který rok pøed svou smrtí napsal známý kanadský spisovatel Stephen Leacock (u nás nejproslulejí svými Literárními poklesky). V roce 1943 opublikoval v Montrealu èlánek, který se mi zdá být dokonale nadèasový a pro ná volební rok 2002 a neskuteènì aktuální. Text je uveden motem, které je úryvkem z poulièního projevu jakéhosi politického agitátora: "Politickým stranám starých èasù je odzvonìno. My potøebujeme nový ivot, novou energii a pøedevím, jestli to tak mohu øíci, nový rozmach ducha." Autor pokraèuje záitky ze své úèasti na schùzi jedné takové nové strany, které jsou pùvabné a kouzelné a které - snad ji po miliónté - dokazují, e nikdy není nic úplnì nového pod sluncem. I u nás slova tohoto typu dobøe známe. "Vechno je zaloeno na lidské solidaritì a rovnoprávnosti. Naím cílem je to, co nemá v programu ádná z døívìjích stran - sociální soudrnost a právo kadého èlovìka promluvit." Nebo dále "ádné podlé intriky a køiváctví jako u tìch døívìjích stran, ádné tajnosti nebo prosazování nìèích zájmù za peníze, ale jen a jen poctivost." Jako bych slyel pana Peheho, Lobkowicze, Mejstøíka, Jeka nebo paní Pajerovou.

American Humour (1916) By Stephen Leacock

http://gaslight.mtroyal.ab.ca/gaslight/amerhumr.htm

Extractions: [London]: Allen Lane (1916) by Stephen Leacock IV.American Humour E SSAYS The following essay is therefore intended to present a serious analysis of American humour as an art, and to discuss its relation to the character and history of the people among whom it has originated. In such a discussion it may well become necessary to introduce an actual citation of typical American jokes: but, where this is the case, it is done only in the interests of art, and with a proper sense of responsibility. It is not to be implied from this that none of the world's great philosophers, such as Kant, and Schopenhauer, have dealt with the analysis of humour. Several of them have done so, and have done so in a spirit which does them credit. Schopenhauer has told us I cannot quote his phrase exactly but merely give the rough, everyday sense of his words that all those concepts are amusing in which there is the subsumption of a double paradox. This is a proposition which none of us will readily deny, and one which, if more, widely appreciated, might prove of the highest practical utility. Kant, likewise, has said that in him everything excites laughter in which there is a resolution or deliverance of the absolute captive by the finite. It was very honourable of Kant to admit this. It enables us to know exactly what did, and what did not, excite him. But the difficulty remains that the philosophical school of analysts, in their fear of being thought light, frivolous, or over-intelligible in dealing with this subject have been led to envelop themselves in a thick haze of psychological terminology which the common eye is unable to pierce. The explanation of the humorous proceeds thus

STEPHEN LEACOCK: HUMOUR AND HUMANITY
stephen leacock HUMOUR AND HUMANITY Gerald Lynch. Montréal, PQ McGillQueen'sUniversity Press, 1988. 197pp., cloth, $24.95. ISBN 0-7735-0652-7. CIP.
http://www.umanitoba.ca/cm/cmarchive/vol17no3/sleacock.html

Extractions: 1989 May Gerald Lynch approaches Canada's well-loved satirist through an exposition of the political and literary stance of a man he describes as a "kindly tory humorist and humanist." Lynch uses these terms as he takes the reader through Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town and Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich (both McClelland and Stewart, 1989), indicating the controlling pattern of ideas. In the flctional world of Mariposa an ideal of community is expressed: continuity of the existing society is the ultimate value, the evident meaning of "tory," In Plutoria, an opposite and false ideology of money-making and individual success at the expense of the community prevails. The setting-out of these ideas and of Leacock's theory of humour, which Lynch flnds to be kindly, usefully suggests something of the climate of thought in Canada on the eve of World War I. An objection might be made to the term "humanist," plucked from its Renaissance context and used by Lynch, one feels, to take the curse off "tory": it evidently expresses Leacock's genial interest in a humanity neither wholly good nor wholly bad.
