Sup, /b/
I'm a lit student and i just started taking an interest in some drama courses
We've so far read a couple of comedies: Dulcitius (Hrosvitha), and Tartuffe. They were both surpisingly funny in moments and very enjoyable to read. Comedy is obviously important to drama, but literature tends not to be this way, except for maybe some offhanded humor in postmodern lit. Are there any good, genuinely funny novels from circa 1850 or before? I'm not talking about something like the Satyricon or whatever. Something that appeals to at least a relatively contemporary sensibility. What does /lit/ recommend?
