«Wit Spirit, tome 1: L’humour anglo-saxon» is the humour book by Jean-Loup Chiflet, published by Mots et Cie in paperback (127 pages, in French).
Wit is, in English, the ingenuity or the ability to make jokes; from that idea, Chiflet explores Anglo-Saxon humour and its tendency to laugh at oneself. The volume brings together more than three hundred quotes from Anglo-Saxon authors, with examples of nonsense and understatement that show the comic side of existence even when one is the victim.
It is volume 1 of the Wit Spirit series, dedicated to Anglo-Saxon humour; the original edition was published in March 2000.
For readers interested in British humour, quotation anthologies, and Anglo-Saxon culture.
