This review is from: Horn Book: Studies in Erotic Folklore and Bibliography (Hardcover)
G. Legman was a scholarly collector of erotica, especially the dirty joke and the limerick. He published two giant collections of dirty jokes that included extensive analyses of the jokes, their origins, comparative versions, and other scholarly concerns. He did the same for the bawdy limerick. THE HORN BOOK is a kind of apologia of erotica with longish articles on erotic collections and folklore, including bawdy ballads, the limerick, and the formation of a motif index for this type of work. It's pretty esoteric, but Legman is an interesting writer and, needless to say, knows his subject well. Anyone with any scholarly interest in this field of endeavor will find this book useful and provocative.
