Description: Further DetailsTitle: The Cambridge Introduction to SatireCondition: NewEAN: 9781107682054ISBN: 9781107682054Publisher: Cambridge University PressFormat: PaperbackRelease Date: 12/20/2018Description: In satire, evil, folly, and weakness are held up to ridicule - to the delight of some and the outrage of others. Satire may claim the higher purpose of social critique or moral reform, or it may simply revel in its own transgressive laughter. It exposes frauds, debunks ideals, binds communities, starts arguments, and evokes unconscious fantasies. It has been a central literary genre since ancient times, and has become especially popular and provocative in recent decades. This new introduction to satire takes a historically expansive and theoretically eclectic approach, addressing a range of satirical forms from ancient, Renaissance, and Enlightenment texts through contemporary literary fiction, film, television, and digital media. The beginner in need of a clear, readable overview and the scholar seeking to broaden and deepen existing knowledge will both find this a lively, engaging, and reliable guide to satire, its history, and its continuing relevance in the world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 480gAuthor: Jonathan GreenbergBook Series: Cambridge Introductions to LiteratureRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
