Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works in Prose and Verse of Sir Thomas Overbury, Knt: Now First Collected, Edited With Notes, and a Biographical Account of the Author Campbell, the poet, in a prefatory notice pro fixed to his Specimens, says, The compassion of the public for a man of worth, whose spirit still walked unrevenged amongst them, ' together with the contrast of his ideal W'ife with the Countess of Essex, who was his murderess, attached an interest and popularity to his poem, and made it pass through sixteen editions before the year 1653. His Cha racters, or Witty Descriptions of the Properties of Sundry Persons, ' is a work of considerable merit; but unfortunately his prose, as well as his verse, has a dryness and quaintncss that seems to oppress the natural movement of his thoughts. As a post he has few imposing attractions: his beauties must be fetched by repeated perusal. They are those of solid reflection, predominating over, but not extina guishing sensibility; and there is danger of the reader neglecting, under the coldness and ruggedness of his manner, the manly but unostentatious moral feeling that is conveyed in hismaxims, whieh are sterlingand liberal, ifwecanonlypanlonafcw obsolete ideas on female education.

Book Satire

    Book Details:
  • Author : John T. Gilmore
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2017-12-02
  • ISBN : 1134106335
  • Pages : 203 pages

Download or read book Satire written by John T. Gilmore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is satire? How can we define it? Is it a weapon for radical change or fundamentally conservative? Is satire funny or cruel? Does it always need a target or victim? Combining thematic, theoretical and historical approaches, John T. Gilmore introduces and investigates the tradition of satire from classical models through to the present day. In a lucid and engaging style, Gilmore explores: the moral politics of satire whether satire is universal, historically or geographically limited how satire translates across genres and media the boundaries of free speech and legitimacy. Using examples from ancient Egypt to Charlie Hebdo, from European traditions of formal verse satire to imaginary voyages and alternative universes, newspaper cartoons and YouTube clips, from the Caribbean to China, this comprehensive volume should be of interest to students and scholars of literature, media and cultural studies as well as politics and philosophy.
