Excerpt from Essays at Home and Elsewhere
The morning was so beautiful and the air so pleasant that I did not hurry. But presently the sun became too strong. It was after seven when I reached a hill-top which looked down upon a cluster of houses about a stream crossed by a bridge. Here I said I would rest for the hot hours of the day; and I thought how pleasant it would be if I should find a pretty church, in which I might sit and look out of the window, and listen to a discourse punctuated by the monotonous stamping of the horses tied without to the palings.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the writings of Artemus Ward, the famed American humorist of the 19th century. Ward's unique literary voice, characterized by humility and a playful satire of societal norms, is explored as an expression of both his experiences and the broader American ethos of the time. The author examines how Ward's humor, often targeting self-important figures and institutions, reflected a democratic society's skepticism of authority and its tolerance for both selshness and kindness. Moreover, the book discusses how Ward's writings grappled with issues of slavery and the Civil War, reflecting the moral and political complexities of his era. Through a blend of biography and literary analysis, this book invites readers to explore the significance of Ward's humor as both a reflection of his time and a poignant commentary on human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
