Publisher's Synopsis
The Humor Of The Underman And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Francis Grierson and published in 1911. The book explores the concept of the ""underman"", a term used to describe those who are considered to be of lower social status or intelligence. Grierson uses humor as a means of highlighting the absurdity of the social hierarchies that exist in society. The essays cover a range of topics, including the role of humor in society, the nature of laughter, and the relationship between humor and intelligence. Grierson also explores the idea of the ""underdog"", examining the ways in which society tends to favor those who are already in positions of power and privilege. Throughout the book, Grierson employs a witty and satirical writing style, using humor to challenge the reader's assumptions and encourage them to think critically about the world around them.
