Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: 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.
