Více o knize

There have been many anthologies of limericks, but this huge collection of 1700 of them is a treasure trove indeed. It contains the richest and juiciest erotic stanzas the editor could cull from the vast body of limericks produced between 1870 and 1952.This collection was first published privately in Paris in 1957 in a limited edition. Very few copies found their way to this country.The limerick is, by definition, a five-line verse with a distinctive metrical structure. There have been clean limericks, of course, but the most popular form is a bawdy rhyme involving the sexes in ribald situations.Once banned from the nation's bookshelves, the limerick has taken advantage of the new moral climate to "come out." This book offers examples from all over the Western world - a limerick for every taste.Included are copious notes and an extensive bibliography.
