Bottoms Up: An Application Of The Slapstick To Satire is a book written by George Jean Nathan and published in 1917. The book is a collection of essays that explore the use of slapstick comedy in satire. Nathan argues that the physical humor of slapstick can be used to comment on societal issues and to criticize those in power. He also discusses the history of slapstick comedy and its evolution from vaudeville to silent films. The book includes examples of famous slapstick comedians such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, and analyzes their work in relation to satire. Nathan's writing style is witty and insightful, making Bottoms Up an entertaining and informative read for anyone interested in comedy and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
