Description
For over two thousand years, satirists have used their wit to expose hypocrisy and poke fun at our inflated egos. While we may not always appreciate their sharp tongue, we acknowledge the value of satire in making us laugh while also making us uncomfortable.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the art of satire, explaining how satirists manage to express criticism in forms that are socially acceptable. With a new introduction by historian Don L. F. Nilsen, Introduction to Satire offers insight into the world of satire and its enduring relevance.
