Recommended for readers interested in thought-provoking literature, "When William Came" offers not only a compelling narrative but also a timely reflection on the complexities of war and its absurdities.

Lucilius and Satire in Second-Century BC Rome【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This volume considers linguistic, cultural, and literary trends that fed into the creation of Roman satire in second-century BC Rome. Combining approaches drawn from linguistics, Roman history, and Latin literature, the chapters share a common purpose of attempting to assess how Lucilius' satires functioned in the social environment in which they were created and originally read. Particular areas of focus include audiences for satire, the mixing of varieties of Latin in the satires, and relationships with other second-century genres, including comedy, epic, and oratory. Lucilius' satires emerged at a time when Rome's new status as an imperial power and its absorption of influences from the Greek world were shaping Roman identity. With this in mind the book provides new perspectives on the foundational identification of satire with what it means to be Roman and satire's unique status as 'wholly ours' tota nostra among Latin literary genres.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	16,381円

Christopher Smart and Satire 'Mary Midnight' and the Midwife【電子書籍】[ Min Wild ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Christopher Smart and Satire explores the lively and idiosyncratic world of satire in the eighteenth-century periodical, focusing on the way that writers adopted personae to engage with debates taking place during the British Enlightenment. Taking Christopher Smart's audacious and hitherto underexplored Midwife, or Old Woman's Magazine (1750-1753) as her primary source, Min Wild provides a rich examination of the prizewinning Cambridge poet's adoption of the bizarre, sardonic 'Mary Midnight' as his alter-ego. Her analysis provides insights into the difficult position in which eighteenth-century writers were placed, as ideas regarding the nature and functions of authorship were gradually being transformed. At the same time, Wild also demonstrates that Smart's use of 'Mary Midnight' is part of a tradition of learned wit, having an established history and characterized by identifiable satirical and rhetorical techniques. Wild's engagement with her exuberant source materials establishes the skill and ingenuity of Smart's often undervalued, multilayered prose satire. As she explores Smart's use of a peculiarly female voice, Wild offers us a picture of an ingenious and ribald wit whose satirical overview of society explores, overturns, and anatomises questions of gender, politics, and scientific and literary endeavors.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,188円

Consuming Anxieties Alcohol, Tobacco, and Trade in British Satire, 1660-1751【電子書籍】[ Dayne C. Riley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Writers of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuriesーa period of vast economic changeーrecognized that the global trade in alcohol and tobacco promised a brighter financial future for England, even as overindulgence at home posed serious moral pitfalls.

Riley traces the satirical treatment of wine, beer, ale, gin, pipe tobacco, and snuff from the beginning of Charles II’s reign, through the boom in tobacco’s popularity, to the end of the Gin Craze in libertine poems and plays, anonymous verse, ballad operas, and the satire of canonical writers such as Gay, Pope, and Swift. Focusing on social concerns about class, race, and gender, ＜em＞Consuming Anxieties＜/em＞ examines how satirists championed Britain’s economic strength on the world stage while critiquing the effects of consumable luxuries on the British body and consciousness.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,154円
Between Laughter and Satire Aspects of the Historical Study of Humour【電子書籍】[ Conal Condren ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book explores closely related aspects of the historical study of humour. It challenges much that has been taken for granted in a field of study for which history has been marginal. It disputes the conventional genealogical view that humour theory dates from antiquity and outlines an alternative conceptual history. It critically examines the nostrum that humour is universal. It then explores the methodological difficulties in treating both verbal and non-verbal humour historically, dealing with contextualisation, intentionality, translation and reception. It explores the variable relationships between satire and definition and concludes with a detailed case study from recent history: the iconic ＜em＞Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister＜/em＞ television comedies. These are commonly seen as realistic, but better understood as presenting popularised theories for satiric and propagandistic effect. Only in their treatment of language can we assess a putative political realism. The satires are often highly perceptive but largely dependent on misleading and inadequate theories of political discourse.＜/p＞＜p＞Conal Condren is an Emeritus Scientia Professor at UNSW, a member of two Cambridge Colleges and a fellow both of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and The Social Sciences in Australia. He has published widely and principally in early modern intellectual history. Among his books are ＜em＞The Status＜/em＞＜em＞and Appraisal of Classic Texts＜/em＞; ＜em＞Argument and Authority in Early Modern England＜/em＞; ＜em＞Political Vocabularies: Word Change and the Nature of Politics＜/em＞.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	15,800円

Helm masterfully explores the intricate interplay between social commentary and humor in Austen's oeuvre. Helm articulates how Austen's country-house settings serve not merely as backdrops, but as crucial arenas where the mores and follies of the gentry are satirized. Employing a blend of close readings and contextual analysis, Helm situates Austen within the broader literary tradition of comedy, illuminating her deft manipulation of irony and character dynamics, which align with the societal norms of the early 19th century.

Through the lens of a cobbler, Ward critiques the complexities of religious conformity and individual autonomy, employing a colloquial yet impactful style that invites readers into the everyday struggles of colonial life. The text is crafted with an astute awareness of contemporary theological debates, revealing the tensions between rigid religion and the burgeoning calls for personal liberty that characterized early American thought. Nathaniel Ward, a formidable figure in early American literature and theology, was extensively educated in England before immigrating to Massachusetts in 1634. His multifaceted background as a minister and legal scholar deeply informed his writings, allowing him to bridge the gap between doctrinal rigidity and the quests for personal freedom that defined the New World. His experiences in the Massachusetts Bay Colony lived through the lens of a keen observer of human behavior lend depth to his work, making it a rich historical document as well as a literary one. Readers interested in the intersections of religion, identity, and social commentary will find 'The Simple Cobler of Aggawam in America' to be a compelling read. Ward'??s masterful blend of humor and critique challenges the prevailing norms and propagates discussions that resonate even today.

Reforming French Culture Satire, Spiritual Alienation, and Connection to Strangers【電子書籍】[ George Hoffmann ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Reforming French Culture is a ground-breaking work on the literary genre of Reformation satire--colloquial, obscene, scatological--designed to mock the excesses as well as the essence of the Roman Catholic rite and hierarchy. Enticingly, Hoffmann proposes that while romance, with its episodic, heroic narrative, is the literary genre of Counter-Reformation, satire is the genre of Reformation. This minor category of Renaissance French literature is an unstudied continent that plays a key role, not only in French literature, but also in French history, and in the evolution of French culture more generally. From this deceptively small focus, the volume opens up huge vistas: on the Reformation, on French history, and on the symbiosis of spirituality and estrangement to which it views modern French culture as heir. Rather than using literature to illustrate history, or contextualizing literature through historical background, this book brings literary understanding (what satire is and what it does) to bear on historical understanding. Situated at the crossroads of religion, literature, and cultural history, it explores how France, in this period, became a culturally Protestant country while remaining confessionally Catholic.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	10,825円
Roman Satire and the Old Comic Tradition【電子書籍】[ Jennifer L. Ferriss-Hill ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Quintilian famously claimed that satire was tota nostra, or totally ours, but this innovative volume demonstrates that many of Roman satire's most distinctive characteristics derived from ancient Greek Old Comedy. Jennifer L. Ferriss-Hill analyzes the writings of Lucilius, Horace, and Persius, highlighting the features that they crafted on the model of Aristophanes and his fellow poets: the authoritative yet compromised author; the self-referential discussions of poetics that vacillate between defensive and aggressive; the deployment of personal invective in the service of literary polemics; and the abiding interest in criticizing individuals, types, and language itself. The first book-length study in English on the relationship between Roman satire and Old Comedy, Roman Satire and the Old Comic Tradition will appeal to students and researchers in classics, comparative literature, and English.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	16,381円

Le LutrinーAn Heroick Poem A Neoclassical Epic of Church Satire and Heroic Poetry【電子書籍】[ Nicolas Boileau-Despr?aux ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Nicolas Boileau-Despr√?aux's "Le Lutrin'??An Heroick Poem" is a masterful blend of wit and literary critique, embodying the spirit of 17th-century French classicism. Written in heroic couplets, the poem artfully critiques the emerging literary pretensions of the time while celebrating the nobility of poetic form. Utilizing allegorical characters and rich imagery, Boileau navigates themes of vanity, ambition, and the transformative power of art, all framed within a mock-heroic narrative that cleverly subverts the epic tradition. The poem stands as both a literary commentary and an enjoyable satire, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of art and its purpose within society. Boileau, a prominent literary figure and theorist, played an influential role during the Grand Si√?cle, a period marked by the rise of French classicism. His dedication to clarity and reason in poetry stems from his studies of classical literature and his devotion to the rules of the French Academy. Boileau's own experiences as a critic and poet led him to engage in a dialogue with his contemporaries, challenging their excesses while promoting a return to classical simplicity and integrity in writing. "Le Lutrin" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the evolution of literary standards or the satirical tradition in poetry. Boileau's sharp insight and refined style will captivate lovers of classic literature and those who appreciate the intricacies of poetic form. This work not only entertains but also invites deeper reflection on the responsibilities of writers and the societal implications of art.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	310円
Laughing Atoms, Laughing Matter Lucretius' De Rerum Natura and Satire【電子書籍】[ T. H. M. Gellar-Goad ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Laughing Atoms, Laughing Matter: Lucretius'＜/em＞ De Rerum Natura ＜em＞and Satire＜/em＞ offers the first comprehensive examination of Roman epic poet Lucretius’ engagement with satire. Author T. H. M. Gellar-Goad argues that what has often been understood as an artfully persuasive exposition of Epicurean philosophy designed to convert the uninitiated is actually a mimesis of the narrator’s attempt to effect such a conversion on his internal narrative audienceーa performance for the true audience of the poem, whose members take pleasure from uncovering the literary games and the intertextual engagement that the performance entails.＜/p＞＜p＞Gellar-Goad aims to track ＜em＞De Rerum Natura＜/em＞ along two paths of satire: first, the broad boulevard of satiric literature from the beginnings of Greek poetry to the plays, essays, and broadcast media of the modern world; and second, the narrower lane of Roman verse satire, ＜em＞satura＜/em＞, beginning with early authors Ennius and Lucilius and closing with Flavian poet Juvenal. Lucilius is revealed as a major, yet overlooked, influence on Lucretius.＜/p＞＜p＞By examining how Lucretius’ poem employs the tools of satire, we gain a richer understanding of how it interacts with its purported philosophical program.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,668円
Political Satire, Postmodern Reality, and the Trump Presidency Who Are We Laughing At?【電子書籍】[ Mehnaaz Momen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book attempts to grasp the recent paradigm shift in American politics through the lens of satire. It connects changes in the political and cultural landscape to corresponding shifts in the structure and organization of the media, in order to shed light on the evolution of political satire on late-night television. Satire is situated in its historical background to comprehend its movement away from the fringes of discourse to the very center of politics and the media. Beginning in the 1990s, certain trends such as technological advances, media consolidation, and the globalization of communications reinforced each other, paving the way for satire to claim a prized spot in the visual mediaーa tendency that only gained strength after September 11. While the Bush presidency presented itself as an apposite target for satirists, their stronghold on American television was made possible by a number of transitions in broader culture, which are encapsulated in the shrinking space available for political engagement under neoliberalism. This largely underestimated development can be understood through the framework of postmodernism, which focuses on the relationship between language, power, and the presentation of reality. These trends and transitions reached a climax in the 2016 election where President Trump was elected, embodying what can only be considered a significant turning point in American politics. The bigger narrative contains various subplots represented in the rise of the neoliberal economy, the acceptance of postmodernism as the dominant cultural code, and the role of the voyeur superseding that of the engaged citizen. It is only through understanding each of these pieces and connecting them that we can comprehend the current political transformation. The present moment may feel like a golden age of satire, and it may well be, but this book addresses the hardest questions about the realities behind such a claim: what can we conclude about when and how satire is effective, judging by the history of this genre in its various incarnations, and how can the “apolitical” postmodern media landscape be reconciled with what the best of this genre has had to offer during times of political duress?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,426円
"Mr. Punch's" Book of Arms Victorian Humor and Political Satire in Illustrated Cartoons【電子書籍】[ Edward Tennyson Reed ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Mr. Punch's Book of Arms," Edward Tennyson Reed delivers a captivating exploration of heraldry infused with the characteristic wit and satirical edge of the renowned "Punch" magazine. This work intricately weaves together illustrations and humorous commentary that demystify the intricate symbols and artistry behind arms, catering to both the curious novice and the seasoned enthusiast of heraldry. Reed employs a playful, yet erudite literary style that reflects the Victorian penchant for both intellect and amusement, aligning perfectly with the broader 19th-century cultural context that celebrated visual satire and social commentary. Edward Tennyson Reed, a notable British caricaturist and illustrator, brought a wealth of artistic talent and a keen understanding of societal norms to his work. Having established his reputation through his contributions to "Punch," Reed's intent with this book was likely to make heraldry accessible and entertaining for the burgeoning middle class who dismissed traditional, staid representations of such topics.

Cobwebs from an Empty Skull Captivating Satire and Dark Humor: A Literary Reflection of Human Nature【電子書籍】[ Ambrose Bierce ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Cobwebs from an Empty Skull," Ambrose Bierce presents a striking collection of essays and biting satire that encapsulates his acerbic wit and profound skepticism. Using a poignant and often humorous literary style, Bierce delves into the absurdities of human existence and societal conventions. The book is richly textured with his trademark cynicism, reflecting the intellectual currents of his time, including the influence of realism and naturalism, which sought to depict the world as it is, devoid of romantic illusion. Each piece serves as a mirror to the moral and philosophical vacuity of his contemporaries, wrapped in a conversational tone that engages while it critiques. Ambrose Bierce, a renowned war correspondent and journalist, was deeply influenced by his experiences during the Civil War, which shaped his worldview and literary voice. His disillusionment with human nature and societal injustices is palpably reflected in this work, as he critiques political and social institutions with a sharpness born from years of observing the human condition. Bierce's multifaceted career as an editor and writer demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of society, which he masterfully portrays through his essays. "Cobwebs from an Empty Skull" is essential reading for anyone intrigued by the intersection of humor, critical thought, and societal analysis. Bierce's ability to blend levity with profound truths renders this collection not only entertaining but thought-provoking.

Comedy and Satire in Zimbabwe The Poetics and Politics of Resistance After Mugabe【電子書籍】[ Rodwell Makombe ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The book is about comedy, the nation, and resistance in Zimbabwe, following the fall of Robert Mugabe in 2017. It explores how satiric comedies and comic texts in post-Mugabe Zimbabwe contest hegemonic narratives of the nation and authorise alternative narratives from the margins. Drawing on postcolonial theories of the nation, it analyses subversive comedies and social media texts that contest official political narratives in Zimbabwe, including the comedies of four Zimbabwean comediansーKapfupi and Marabha, Doc Vikela, and Sabhuku Vharazipiーas well as social media texts on President Mnangagwa’s Facebook Page and cartoons published by the Zimbabwean newspaper ＜em＞ZimDaily＜/em＞. Primarily found via social media platforms (Facebook and Youtube), these texts centre alternative views and narratives of ordinary citizens, contesting established truths and providing a counter-narration to official hegemonic discourses of the nation.＜/p＞＜p＞Where existing scholarship on post-Mugabe politics in Zimbabwe focuses on issues such as the coup, militarisation, and discourses of "newness", little attention has been paid to the forms of resistance used in everyday discourse by Zimbabweans, and particularly via satire and comedy. These comic texts, shared by comedians and normal citizens on social media, can provide a useful alternative perspective to make sense of the politics and political performances that characterize the new political dispensation after Mugabe.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	15,800円
