Definition
A philosophical or artistic approach based on the principles of Gilbert, typically referring to the logical and theatrical methods of W.S. Gilbert.
Etymology
From Gilbert (the name) + -ian (relating to) + -ism (system or doctrine). Named after William Schwenck Gilbert, the 19th-century satirical playwright and librettist of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
Kelly Says
Gilbert's unique style of sharp wordplay, paradox, and satirical logic became so distinctive that his name spawned an entire '-ism'—not many people get that honor! His influence on comedic writing and theatrical satire was so powerful that scholars still study 'Gilbertianism' as a specific comedic technique.
