A Subtreasury of American Humor

A Subtreasury of American Humor is a 1941 anthology edited by E. B. White and Katharine White, of then-contemporary United States humor writers. Both editors were long-time contributors of The New Yorker, and the collection has been sometimes termed as "the New Yorker school of American Humor."^[1] Kurt Vonnegut said in 1976 that "an awful lot" of his work is rooted in this single book.^[2]

First edition (publ. Coward McCann)

Following the success of the book, the following year Morris Bishop published A Treasury of British Humor.^[3]
