This chapter looks at how the New Humourists evoke, parody, anticipate and compliment three figures of Modernity: Oscar Wilde, Joseph Conrad, and James Joyce. In doing this, New Humour disrupts and defaces ideas of masculinity, even while anxiously distancing itself from non-normative forms. New Humour is shown to engage with a sense of Modernity to which the comic is vital, and its texts make the case for the importance and role of humour in its negotiation.

摘要

This chapter looks at how the New Humourists evoke, parody, anticipate and compliment three figures of Modernity: Oscar Wilde, Joseph Conrad, and James Joyce. In doing this, New Humour disrupts and defaces ideas of masculinity, even while anxiously distancing itself from non-normative forms. New Humour is shown to engage with a sense of Modernity to which the comic is vital, and its texts make the case for the importance and role of humour in its negotiation.
