The second issue of "Gender and Humour" deals with effects of current phenomena of comic genres, above all with regard to literature and the popular media. Several of the essays investigate in particular the changes in gendered perceptions of humour within modernism, often highlighting the differences in the socio-political climate of the 1920s and '30s compared to later decades.
