Explora el intrigante mundo del humor en la antigua Roma con 'Laughter in Ancient Rome' de Mary Beard. Este libro examina qué hacía reír a los romanos, desde bromas prácticas hasta la sutil ironía, y cómo el humor se manifestaba en la ley, la política y los espectáculos. Beard analiza una amplia gama de textos romanos, desde ensayos retóricos hasta libros de chistes, para desentrañar el papel del humor en la sociedad romana y reflexionar sobre la historia de la risa. ¿Podemos realmente entender los chistes de los romanos?
Mary Ritter Beard was an American historian, author, women's suffrage activist, and women's history archivist who was also a lifelong advocate of social justice. As a Progressive Era reformer, Beard was active in both the labor and women's rights movements. She also authored several books on women's role in history including On Understanding Women (1931), America Through Women's Eyes, and Woman as Force in History: A Study in Traditions and Realities (1946), her major work. In addition, she collaborated with her husband, historian Charles Austin Beard, as coauthor of seven textbooks, most notably The Rise of American Civilization (1927), two volumes, and America in Midpassage: A Study of the Idea of Civilization (1939) and The American Spirit (1942), the third and fourth volume of The Rise of American Civilization series. A standalone book, Basic History of the United States, was their best-selling work.
