Autorenporträt
Percival Leigh (1813–1889) was an English writer, humorist, and journalist renowned for his contribution to the literary landscape of the 19th century. A prominent figure of his time, Leigh is best remembered for his seminal work 'The Comic English Grammar: A New And Facetious Introduction To The English Tongue' (1846), which exemplifies his unique blend of wit and erudition. A masterpiece of humor and linguistics, the book offers an entertaining yet incisive exploration of English grammar, enlaced with Leigh's drollery and clever satire. Trained as a physician, Leigh's foray into literature and journalism was marked by his association with Punch, or The London Charivari—a satirical magazine that became a hallmark of Victorian humor and social commentary. As a regular contributor, Leigh's literary style often satirized contemporary society, education, and politics. Combining scholarly rigor with a playful pen, Leigh's writing engaged a broad audience and brought a light-hearted touch to the often sober field of grammar. His contribution to the lexicography of humor in the English language is undiminished, with 'The Comic English Grammar' enduring as a testament to his literary skill and charismatic intellect. While Leigh's name may not be as widely known today, his work continues to be of interest to scholars of Victorian literature and aficionados of linguistic humor.
