The horn book : studies in erotic folklore and bibliography / by G. Legman

Legman, Gershon

London, Cape [

Originally published under the title "Rationale of the Dirty Joke's" Legman's analytic study of erotic and scatological humor is based on material gathered in America and abroad over a forty year period. In two volumes the author presents and comments on over 2,000 jokes and folktales, which were selected from a collection of nearly three times as many (with 60,000 variants) as being the most typical and significant. An in-depth and widely influential work. See other listing for Volume 2.

This is G. Legman's mammoth study of erotic and scatological humor, a darker vision than in Vol. 1. This volume has the dirtier dirty jokes, generally angrier and more outrageous than the jesting ones of the first. Dealing with so-called taboo subjects, Legman's anthropologist comes through as he selects the most typical and therefore more authentically transcribed. Legman's erudite analysis reveals him to be unsurpassed as a moralist, stylist and connoisseur of erotic folklore.
