Satire: Origins and Principles Hodgart Matthew
Satire, according to Jonathan Swift, is a mirror where beholders generally discover everybody's face but their own. Yet certain techniques recur continually, certain themes are timeless, and some targets are perennial. and over twenty-four centuries the mirror of satirical literature has taken on many shapes.
Its deep roots and variety are shown by the persistence of allegory, fable, aphorism, and other literary subgenres. Politics (the mismanagement of men by other men) has always been a target of satire, as has the war between sexes.The universality of satire as a mode and creative impulse is demonstrated by the cross-cultural development of lampoon and travesty. Hodgart analyzes satire at some of its most exuberant moments in Western literature, from Aristophanes to Brecht.
His analysis is supplemented by a selection and discussion of prints and cartoons.Satire
