Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the satire of the late Elizabethan period goes far beyond generic rhetorical persuasion, but is instead intentionally engaged in a literary mission of transideological "perceptual translation." This reshaping of cultural orthodoxies is interpreted in this study as both authentic and "activistic" in the sense that satire represents a purpose-driven attempt to build a consensual community devoted to genuine socio-cultural change. The book includes explorations of specific ideologically stabilizing satires produced before the Bishops’ Ban of 1599, as well as the attempt to return nihilistic English satire to a stabilizing theatrical form during the tumultuous end of the reign of Elizabeth I. Dr. Jones infuses carefully chosen, modern-day examples of satire alongside those of the Elizabethan Era, making it a thoughtful, vigorous read.

Book excerpt: Engaging with Elizabethan understandings of masculinity, this book examines representations of manhood during the short-lived vogue for verse satire in the 1590s, by poets like John Donne, John Marston, Everard Guilpin and Joseph Hall. While criticism has often used categorical adjectives like "angry" and "Juvenalian" to describe these satires, this book argues that they engage with early modern ideas of manhood in a conflicted and contradictory way that is frequently at odds with patriarchal norms even when they seem to defend them. The book examines the satires from a series of contexts of masculinity such as husbandry and early modern understandings of age, self-control and violence, and suggests that the images of manhood represented in the satires often exist in tension with early modern standards of manhood. Beyond the specific case studies, while satire has often been assumed to be a "male" genre or mode, this is the first study to engage more in depth with the question of how satire is invested with ideas and practices of masculinity.

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. A special feature of the book is the emphasis on tradition, continuity, and innovation. This book is an interesting read for scholars of English literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon recent scholarship in Renaissance studies regarding notions of the body, political, physical and social, this study examines how the satiric tragedians of the English Renaissance employ the languages of sex - including sexual slander, titillation, insinuation and obscenity - in the service of satiric aggression. There is a close association between the genre of satire and sexually descriptive language in the period, author Gabriel Rieger argues, particularly in the ways in which both the genre and the languages embody systems of oppositions. In exploring the various purposes which sexually descriptive language serves for the satiric tragedian, Rieger reviews a broad range of texts, ancient, Renaissance, and contemporary, by satiric tragedians, moralists, medical writers and critics, paying particular attention to the works of William Shakespeare, Thomas Middleton and John Webster

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Satire in the Early English Drama Though numerous references have been made to the satirical character of many of the plays of our Early English Drama before 1600, no work exists which shows in detail this informal dramatic satire. It is hoped that this dissertation will be useful with its instances of early informal satire taken from the miracles, moralities, and interludes of the period 1450 to 1600 in showing: (1) the place satire holds in the early drama - a place to become exceedingly prominent in the Elizabethan Drama, especially in the plays of Ben Jonson; (2) the relation of this satire to the subject-matter and the purpose of the plays; (3) the methods, tone, type, and the objects of attack of this satire; (4) a reflection of the manners or social traits of the period; (5) a comparison of this informal dramatic satire with the informal satire occurring in other literary forms of the period, and with the informal dramatic satire of Elizabethan times. The writer is indebted to the following excellent teachers: E. L. Beck, B. A. Eisenlohr. E. S. Ingraham, E. H. McNeal, W. S. Elden, A. H. Hodgman, and C. S. Duncan; and owes special acknowledgment to S. C. Derby, Professor of Latin, J. R. Taylor, Professor of English, and J. V. Denney, Dean of the College of Arts. Professor Denney has been exceedingly kind and has read the first and last drafts of my dissertation. Professor G. H. McKnight has been helpful in proposing a subject, in directing my efforts, and in giving encouragement - such as only those who have been in his classes can appreciate. Many thanks are due also to the Dean of Women of Ohio State University - Caroline M. Breyfogle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
