A Great Tutorial On Satire August 14, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this book because I love satire in general and just wanted to learn more about it. This is a great tutorial, well balanced with much to discuss and ponder about the relationship of satire and its immense value to our society both past and present. This book,"Satire", is true to its title...sharp and filled with wit that endures over the ages as it stimulates the mind and potentially changes society. What more can one want from a good book! I would just like to recommend that more present day satirical writings be included, perhaps in a later edition, which are reflective of our contemporary society. Well-informed students of 12st Century satire might like to mull over a book that I really enjoyed entitled, "Management By Vice" by C.B. Don. It has all the elements of a biting and apropos satire...I even recognized a fun verse that surely must be a "clerihew" in disguise on the avaricious character, Dr. V.P. Barron, in this eye-opening satire on American company management. "Management By Vice" is most appropriate and indeed prophetic in today's climate of corporate corruption and so I believe it would be a worthwhile study in addition to "Satire"'s many lessons.
