Satire Paperback / softback
by Jane Ogborn, Peter Buckroyd, Pamela Bickley, Ian Brinton, Stephen Siddall
Part of the Cambridge Contexts in Literature series
Paperback / softback
Description
Critical introductions to a range of literary topics and genres. The purpose of satire is to expose human hypocrisy, vice and folly, and because these aspects of human behaviour are not particular to any one historical period, satires can be understood by readers at any moment in time.
This book explores the social and political circumstances to deepen that understanding.
Text extracts are included from Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, Lord Byron, E.E.
Cummings and Evelyn Waugh.
