Anotace knihy

The Wellerism - a form of expression typical or reminiscent of Sam Weller or his father, two celebrated characters in Dickens's "Pickwick Papers" - is a major subtype of the proverb. It consists of three parts: a speech or statement (often a proverb); identification of the speaker, and identification of the situation, which gives the expression an ironic or humorous twist, often in the form of a pun. This reference collects all recorded Wellerisms in the English language. Containing a wealth of wit and wisdom, it also offers a preface, bibliography, lengthy introduction and two indexes, one of speakers, one of situations.
