| Summary | "The Humour of Spain" by Susette M. Taylor and H. R. Millar is a collection of humorous tales and anecdotes drawn from the rich fabric of Spanish literary tradition, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This anthology explores various forms of Spanish humour, capturing the wit and amusing situations present throughout the nation's history and storytelling, from medieval times to the Renaissance. The opening of the collection presents an introduction that emphasizes the unique charm and characteristics of Spanish humour, which often shines brightly against a backdrop of historical gloom. It suggests a deep-seated tradition where humour reflects the complexities of Spanish life influenced by diverse cultures, such as the Arab dominion and Catholicism. The selected stories introduce dynamic characters and scenarios, showcasing the clever interplay of wit, irony, and satire. Notable pieces include humorous takes on societal roles, such as the clever rogue and the underlying absurdities of authority, providing readers with insight into not only entertainment but also cultural commentary.
