Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Satire Anthology This, of course, refers to the subtler forms of satire. Many classic satires are direct lampoons or broadsides which admit of only one interpreta tion. Literature numbers many satirists among its most honoured names; and the best satires show intellect, education, and a keen appreciation of human nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the British Satirists: With an Introductory Essay by Cecil I share with many people a holy horror of 'Selections' but the British satirists are so little known that I am not without hope that specimens from their works may prove both useful and interesting to the ordinary reader. It is indeed, due to the same causes that the satirists are little read and that they lend themselves to this treatment of selection. In the first place, especially in the case of the earlier authors, their good things are buried in a mass of writing, partly satiric, partly not, which is dreary and obscure, now that its interest has evaporated with the ephemeral occasion of its production. In the second place, the works of these earlier writers are often quite beyond the reach of the man in the street. In some cases they have never been reprinted, in many cases they have only been reprinted in elaborate and expensive editions, intended solely for scholars and connoisseurs. In the third place, the frank filth and savage coarseness which disfigure so much of our satire have rendered it revolting to modern taste. But there are pearls to be found in almost all these dunghills, and I have endeavoured to present to the reader as many jewels of pure wit and sarcasm and irony as space would allow. With the object of selecting, where desirable, more copiously from less available writers, I have denied myself the pleasure of giving extracts from the novelists of this century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Satirical Element in the American Novel: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Satire being a compounding of three distinct elements, it follows that there will be great variation in what may properly be classed as satire. It may be decidedly indirect, where the criticism is merely implied in the situa tion; it may be less indirect, where the author puts the criticism into the mouth of one of his characters; or it may be still less indirect, where the author himself speaks ironically. In every case, however, there is insinua tion, rather than direct attack. Likewise with regard to the other two elements, wit and criticism, there may be wide variation. We must necessarily come upon some writing Which contains an infinitesimal amount of criticism, with a great deal of wit. Conversely, we shall find writing in which the criticism is strong, and the wit almost negligible. So long, however, as the three elements, wit, criticism, and indirectness of treatment, are present, we have satire, though it is often advisable to use, not the noun, but the adjective, and to say that the writing is satirical, or has a satirical quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from the conviction that Latin literature gains from being viewed as performance, the author sees the creation of different characters or "masks" in Latin literature as a result of the Greco-Roman training in rhetoric. She treats the texts of Roman satire as drama and focuses on the characters whose voices are heared in these performances: the angry satirist, the mocking satirist and the smiling satirist. She goes on to explore the implications of the use of these "masks" for authors and audiences of satire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirteen Satires of Juvenal: With English Notes The character of Horace's mind was such, that his own experience and the events of his life come naturally into his writings, and a tolerably full and accurate biography of that poet has been gathered from his own pen. His poems form a gallery of contemporary portraits, including his own picture in every stage of life. It is not so with J uvenal. He had to deal with vice and folly more than a century older than the vice and folly of Horace's day, and a tyranny which Horace never witnessed. The playful personalities of Horace did not suit J uvenal's subject, and would not have represented his way of viewing it; nor did they suit the severe and defiant Spirit in which he approached it. The consequence is that the traces of J uvenal's life in his Satires are very slight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
