Simultaneously pervasive and evasive, rebellious and oppressive, transgressive and socially specific, humour is a vast and interdisciplinary field of research. Seeking to rethink this quintessentially human expression, this volume is bringing together established and emerging directions of medieval humour research. Each contribution explores different artistic expressions, receptions and functions of humour and identifies a series of problems in researching humour historically. Medieval Humour: Expressions, Receptions and Functions dissects humour in art and thought, literature and drama, society and culture, contributing to a deeper understanding of our cultural past.

Kleio Pethainou is an Art Historian by formation and a Medievalist by specialisation. The early stages of her PhD at the University of Edinburgh were funded by the Edinburgh College of Art Research Scholarship and she is an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. When she is not doing research, she is working at the National Galleries of Scotland, and she frequently brings to life characters from the manuscripts she is researching in her storytelling performances.
