Yeats for various British publications, including .Comic Cuts., .The Funny Wonder., and .Puck., between 1893 and 1917. It situates the work in relation to late-Victorian and Edwardian media, entertainment and popular culture, as well as to the evolution of the British comic during this crucial period in its development. Yeats’ recurring characters, including circus horse Signor McCoy, detective pastiche Chubblock Homes, and proto-superhero Dicky the Birdman, were once very well-known, part of a boom in cheap and widely distributed comics that Alfred Harmsworth and others published in London from 1890 onwards. The repositioning of Yeats in the context of the comics, and the acknowledgement of the very substantial corpus of graphic humour that he produced, has profound implications for our understanding of his artistic career and of his significant contribution to UK comics history. This book, which also contains many examples of the work, should therefore be of value to those interested in Comics Studies, Irish Studies, and Art History.. | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Jack B; Yeats; Comics artists; Comic Cuts; The Funny Wonder; Twentieth century Irish art; British comics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-76893-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-76895-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-76893-5Series ISSN 2634-6370 Series E-ISSN 2634-6389 | issn_series | 2634-6370 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
