Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978 English Verse Satire aims to provide a critical study of the major English verse satirists as well as an account of the historical development of verse satire. Critical accounts are offered of important writers including Donne, Vaughan, Butler, Rochester, Dryden, Oldham, Swift, Pope, Young, Dr. Johnson and Churchill. An account of verse satire commences historically with the Roman satirists and Dr Selden has provided a substantial treatment of Horace and Juvenal as the basis for a study of the evolution of verse satire from the Elizabethan period to the end of the Augustan period.

Download or read book Satire written by Dustin Griffin and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the ideal introduction to satire for the student and, for the experienced scholar, an occasion to reconsider the uses, problems, and pleasures of satire in light of contemporary theory. Satire is a staple of the literary classroom. Dustin Griffin moves away from the prevailing moral-didactic approach established thirty some years ago to a more open view and reintegrates the Menippean tradition with the tradition of formal verse satire. Exploring texts from Aristophanes to the moderns, with special emphasis on the eighteenth century, Griffin uses a dozen figures—Horace, Juvenal, Persius, Lucian, More, Rabelais, Donne, Dryden, Pope, Swift, Blake, and Byron—as primary examples. Because satire often operates as a mode or procedure rather than as a genre, Griffin offers not a comprehensive theory but a set of critical perspectives. Some of his topics are traditional in satire criticism: the role of satire as moralist, the nature of satiric rhetoric, the impact of satire on the political order. Others are new: the problems of satire and closure, the pleasure it affords readers and writers, and the socioeconomic status of the satirist. Griffin concludes that satire is problematic, open-ended, essayistic, and ambiguous in its relationship to history, uncertain in its political effect, resistant to formal closure, more inclined to ask questions than provide answers, and ambivalent about the pleasures it offers.
Download or read book English Clandestine Satire 1660 1702 written by Harold Love and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2004-08-05 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When late seventeenth-century readers wanted to inform themselves about happenings at the centres of power and fashion they had no newspapers or gossip columns to fall back on. Instead they turned to lampoons - frank, malicious, and often highly indecent accounts in verse of the real or fabricated goings on of the court and ruling elite. Harold Love presents the first comprehensive account of the thousands of lampoons and more serious `state poems' that survive from RestorationEngland and their impact on the life of the nation and the literary practice of satire.

Download or read book Guilty Creatures Renaissance Poetry and the Ethics of Authorship written by Dennis Kezar Assistant Professor of English Vanderbilt University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001-04-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative and learned study, Dennis Kezar examines how Renaissance poets conceive the theme of killing as a specifically representational and interpretive form of violence. Closely reading both major poets and lesser known authors of the early modern period, Kezar explores the ethical self-consciousness and accountability that attend literary killing, paying particular attention to the ways in which this reflection indicates the poet's understanding of his audience. Among the many poems through which Kezar explores the concept of authorial guilt elicited by violent representation are Skelton's Phyllyp Sparowe, Spenser's Faerie Queene, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the multi-authored Witch of Edmonton, and Milton's Samson Agonistes.

Download or read book The Poet s Time written by Warren L. Chernaik and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1983-02-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unites the disciplines of literature and history in an attempt to set the writings of Andrew Marvell in their seventeenth-century context of revolutionary upheaval and counter-revolution. Marvell is seen as a representative figure, illustrating the problems the intellectual inevitably faces when he enters the political arena. Dr Chernaik traces the evolution of Marvell's writings from impartiality to political engagement under the pressure of events. He shows in the earlier part of the book how both 'An Horatian Ode' and 'Upon Appleton House', two of the greatest political poems in the English language, written during the unsettled period of the Commonwealth, are complex works of historical analysis, which present the problem of the choices facing men at a given historical moment. However, after the collapse of Puritan hopes at the Restoration, Marvell moves towards a literature of commitment. Throughout his writings, Chernaik argues, Marvell is both a Puritan and a wit, a fastidious ironist and a moralist like his friend Milton.
