Josh Billings

    Josh Billings, de pseudoniem van humorist Henry Wheeler Shaw, was een vooraanstaand Amerikaans humoristisch schrijver en spreker. In de tweede helft van de 19e eeuw behoorde hij tot de meest gevierde humoristen en publieke sprekers van het land, en kon hij zich zelfs met Mark Twain meten in populariteit. Hoewel zijn hedendaagse faam aanzienlijk was, heeft zijn literaire reputatie met latere generaties te kampen gehad.
