AB  - Provides a wide-ranging account of the different disciplinary, critical and theoretical contexts relevant to the study of nonsenseIncludes new perspectives on canonical nonsense worksOffers a provocative revaluation of theories and definitions of nonsense, urging an understanding of the term as relevant to a broad range of cultural forms and textsIncludes essays by a collection of internationally recognised scholars working on nonsense and related fieldsAims to set the agenda for nonsense scholarship and to open up avenues for future researchThe Edinburgh Companion to Nonsense is the first comprehensive treatment of its subject across historical periods, languages, cultures, and theoretical frameworks. Written by scholars in a range of disciplines from philosophy to music as well as literary critics and linguists, it provides the first overview of nonsense as a vital dimension of human creativity, drawing on insights from theology to queer studies, from India to Russia, and from Ancient Greece to the late modernism of the twentieth century. Responding to a growing interest in nonsense within the academy and reflecting the diversity of understandings that the term inspires, this book aims to advance nonsense as a developing critical field, and to inspire new areas of research.
