Mean-spirited and offensive? Absolutely. Uncharitable and slanderous? You bet. But The Little Book of Venom also contains some of the most amusing and drollest wit ever recorded. A unique addition to any humorist's collection, this compilation of history's cruelest insults and put-downs features some of the world's most famous composers, writers, artists, actors, and politicians, including Richard Wagner, William Faulkner, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Thomas Jefferson, James Whistler, Noel Coward, Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde, Groucho Marx, Jane Austen, Queen Victoria, Edith Wharton, Nietzsche, and many, many others. From music, art, politics, and philosophy to royalty, religion, love and marriage, nothing is safe from belittlement in this hilariously witty and entertaining volume.
