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

Anstey creatively distills a selection of Henrik Ibsen's most acclaimed dramas, presenting them through the playful and satirical lens of Punch, the traditional British puppeteer. Anstey's sharp wit and comedic style transform Ibsen's intense explorations of societal norms, personal identity, and moral dilemmas into accessible miniatures that maintain the essence of the original works while inviting humor and reflection.

Anstey, known for his contributions to humor and satire during the late Victorian era, was influenced by the rapidly changing cultural landscape of his time. His experiences with theatrical productions and a penchant for parody likely fueled his desire to reinterpret Ibsen'??s work.

For scholars, theater enthusiasts, and casual readers alike, "Mr Punch's Pocket Ibsen" offers a delightful intersection of humor and drama, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

Analysis of the nature of Swift's satire in Gulliver's Travels - Targets, techniques and effectiveness Targets, techniques and effectiveness【電子書籍】[ Reni Ernst ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University College Dublin (Faculty of Arts; School of English and Drama), course: Gulliver's Travels, 8 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In 1726 Jonathan Swift published Gulliver's Travels, a book which on the surface appeared to be a travel log to chronicle the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver on his voyages to four separate countries, but primarily serves as a satire on different aspects of human society and humankind itself. Swift's main purpose in using the satirical element in this book, as well as in most of his other works, is to '(...) vex the world rather than divert it (...)' (Swift 264) and thus to appeal to human's ability to change situations for the better. This believe derived from Swift's misanthropic worldview, not in the sense that he didn't have faith in human nature and had given up on any notion of ideals, but he rather, arisen out of disappointment in humankind, believed that man nevertheless was capable of reform. Swift himself laid bare his radically negative view of human beings in a letter to his friend Alexander Pope in 1725: 'I have ever hated all Nations professions and Communityes and all my love is towards individualls for instance I hate the tribe of Lawyers, but I love Councellor such a one (...) and the rest principally I hate and detest that animal called man, although I hartily love John, Peter, Thomas and so forth.' (Swift 264/ 265) Accordingly Swift's focus lies on the individual himself to realize unjust circumstances and to change them by acting. In order to achieve changes in society or even in human beings themselves, Swift makes use of different satirical techniques, which will be closer looked at in each of the four books of Gulliver's Travels, paying attention to Swifts targets and consequently to the effectiveness of his satire.＜/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。	1,813円
A Decade of Dark Humor How Comedy, Irony, and Satire Shaped Post-9/11 America【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜i＞A Decade of Dark Humor＜/i＞ analyzes ways in which popular and visual culture used humor-in a variety of forms-to confront the attacks of September 11, 2001 and, more specifically, the aftermath. This interdisciplinary volume brings together scholars from four countries to discuss the impact of humor and irony on both media discourse and tangible political reality. Furthermore, it demonstrates that laughter is simultaneously an avenue through which social issues are deferred or obfuscated, a way in which neoliberal or neoconservative rhetoric is challenged, and a means of forming alternative political ideologies.＜/p＞＜p＞The volume's contributors cover a broad range of media productions, including news parodies (＜i＞The Daily Show with Jon Stewart＜/i＞, ＜i＞The Colbert Report＜/i＞, ＜i＞The Onion＜/i＞), TV roundtable shows (＜i＞Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher＜/i＞), comic strips and cartoons (Aaron McGruder's ＜i＞The Boondocks＜/i＞, Jeff Danzinger's editorial cartoons), television drama (＜i＞Rescue Me＜/i＞), animated satire (＜i＞South Park＜/i＞), graphic novels (Art Spiegelman's ＜i＞In the Shadow of No Towers＜/i＞), documentary (＜i＞Fahrenheit 9/11＜/i＞), and other productions.＜/p＞＜p＞Along with examining the rhetorical methods and aesthetic techniques of these productions, the essays place each in specific political and journalistic contexts, showing how corporations, news outlets, and political institutions responded to-and sometimes co-opted-these forms of humor.＜/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。	7,094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
The Curse of the Catafalques A Victorian Satire of Supernatural Absurdity【電子書籍】[ F. Anstey ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In 'The Curse of the Catafalques,' F. Anstey crafts a whimsical yet insightful narrative that intertwines elements of comedy with satirical commentary on societal norms of the late Victorian era. The story revolves around a series of misadventures that unfold in the wake of a seemingly cursed funeral procession, revealing the absurdities and hypocrisies of the people involved. Anstey's clever use of irony and his deft characterizations breathe life into a plot that skillfully balances humor and poignancy, drawing readers into a world that simultaneously entertains and provokes thought about life, death, and the rituals surrounding them. F. Anstey, born as Thomas Anstey Guthrie, was known for his keen wit and unique ability to blend humor with deeper reflections on contemporary society. His background in law and his experiences in various professions endowed him with a distinctive perspective, which is evident in the societal critique embedded in 'The Curse of the Catafalques.' Anstey was an acute observer of human folly, and this book reflects not only his sharp intellect but also his ability to unveil the layers of human behavior amidst a tapestry of lighthearted narrative. I recommend 'The Curse of the Catafalques' to readers who appreciate literary humor intertwined with social critique. Anstey's deft storytelling and rich character portrayals create an engaging experience that invites laughter while encouraging introspection. This novel is a delightful journey through the quirks of human nature, making it a must-read for those interested in the interplay of comedy and critique during a transformative period in literature.＜/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
Tales of the Dusty Bucket: A Satire of Secondhand Americana Dusty Bucket, #1【電子書籍】[ Jim Fredrick ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Most folks worldwide have visited a flea market, swap shop, or bazaar, but few take the time to get to know the variety of vendors peddling their lightly used or dubiously acquired inventory every weekend. At the Dusty Bucket, a self-described "androgynous pansexual with no more ambition nowadays than making a living as a flea market 'artist" sets up a table with their recently-deceased mother's unremarkable collectibles. The booth neighbor sells discount cigarettes and has a tale of bluster for every occasion. High Strangeness captures the narrator's attention and that of market regulars with a penchant for seeing the supernatural where it probably doesn't exist. Then again, an apparent caveman does appear out of thin air, and the narrator senses a song-like vibration in their feet rather than hearing it. By the final tally, a misfit team of muddied merchants might be the world's only protection from an ancient existential threat.＜/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。	1,100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.

"Mr. Punch's Book of Arms" is a delightful amalgamation of art and humor that invites readers to engage with the tradition of heraldry in an enjoyable manner.

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. This book invites readers to engage with Bierce's incisive brand of wisdom, making it a significant addition to the canon of American literature for those interested in the darker aspects of human nature and society.＜/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。	150円
The Oxford Handbook of Eighteenth-Century Satire【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Eighteenth-century Britain thought of itself as a polite, sentimental, enlightened place, but often its literature belied this self-image. This was an age of satire, and the century's novels, poems, plays, and prints resound with mockery and laughter, with cruelty and wit. The street-level invective of Grub Street pamphleteers is full of satire, and the same accents of raillery echo through the high scepticism of the period's philosophers and poets, many of whom were part-time pamphleteers themselves. The novel, a genre that emerged during the eighteenth-century, was from the beginning shot through with satirical colours borrowed from popular romances and scandal sheets. This Handbook is a guide to the different kinds of satire written in English during the 'long' eighteenth-century. It focuses on texts that appeared between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660 and the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. Outlier chapters extend the story back to the first decade of the seventeenth-century, and forward to the second decade of the nineteenth. The scope of the volume is not confined by genre, however. So prevalent was the satirical mode in writing of the age that this book serves as a broad and characteristic survey of its literature. The Oxford Handbook of Eighteenth-Century Satire reflects developments in historical criticism of eighteenth-century writing over the last two decades, and provides a forum in which the widening diversity of literary, intellectual, and socio-historical approaches to the period's texts can come together.＜/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。	7,536円
Nothing to Admire The Politics of Poetic Satire from Dryden to Merrill【電子書籍】[ Christopher Yu ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Nothing to Admire＜/em＞ argues for the persistence of a central tradition of poetic satire in English that extends from Restoration England to present-day America. This tradition is rooted in John Dryden's and Alexander Pope's uses of Augustan metaphor to criticize the abuse of social and political power and to promote an antithetical ideal of satiric authority based on freedom of mind. Because of their commitment to neoclassical conceptions of political virtue, the British Augustans developed a meritocratic cultural ideal grounded in poetic judgment and opposed to the political institutions and practices of their superiors in birth, wealth, and might. Their Augustanism thus gives a political meaning to the Horatian principle of ＜em＞nil admirari＜/em＞. This book calls the resulting outlook cultural liberalism in order to distinguish it from the classical liberal insistence on private property as the basis of political liberty, a conviction that arises within the same general period and often stands in adversarial relation to the Augustan mentality. Dryden and Pope's language of political satire supplies the foundation for the later and more radical liberalisms of Lord Byron, W.H. Auden, and James Merrill, each of whom looks back to the Augustan model for the poetic devices he will use to protest the increasingly conformist culture of mass society. Responding to the banality of this society, the later poets reinvigorate their predecessors' neo-Horatian attitude of skeptical worldliness through iconoclastic comic assaults on the imperial, fascist, heterosexist, and otherwise illiberal impulses of the cultural regimes prevailing during their lifetimes.＜/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。	11,921円
Satire of the Sadly and Seriously Suggested Strychnine Spiked Stylisation【電子書籍】[ Evan Scarlett ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Well, some may call it satire, but like with most things in life, poor Mr. Scarlett seems to make it almost a poisonous and bitter observation of the human condition.

Most people do not take enough care and attention to the things that happen around themthe wool that gets pulled over their lives with the propaganda and brain washing machine that they live inso they get tumbled around in the machine of life's events and are too lazy to look for the end-of-cycle button. So please forgive this poor prick, but he feels the people of the world need a kick up the arse and he mistakenly thought that with his disgusting words he may achieve this.＜/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。	607円

Epicurean Ethics in Horace The Psychology of Satire【電子書籍】[ Sergio Yona ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Over the centuries leading up to their composition many genres and authors have emerged as influences on Horace's Satires, which in turn has led to a wide variety of scholarly interpretations. This study aims to expand the existing dialogue by exploring further the intersection of ancient satire and ethics, focusing on the moral tradition of Epicureanism through the lens of one source in particular: Philodemus of Gadara. Philodemus was an Epicurean philosopher who wrote for a Roman audience and was one of Horace's contemporaries and neighbours in Italy. His works, which were preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 but have nevertheless not been widely read on account of their fragmentary nature, feature a range of ethical treatises on subjects including patronage, friendship, flattery, frankness, poverty, and wealth. Epicurean Ethics in Horace: The Psychology of Satire offers a serious consideration of the role of Philodemus' Epicurean teachings in Horace's Satires and argues that the central concerns of the philosopher's work not only lie at the heart of the poet's criticisms of Roman society and its shortcomings, but also lend to the collection a certain coherence and overall unity in its underlying convictions. The result is a ground-breaking study of the deep and pervasive influence of Epicurean ethical philosophy on Horace's Satires, which also reveals something of the poet behind the literary mask or persona by demonstrating the philosophical consistency of his position throughout the two books.＜/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。	13,292円

The Sanity of Satire Surviving Politics One Joke at a Time【電子書籍】[ Al Gini ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Political humor and satire are, perhaps, as old as comedy itself, and they are crucial to our society and our collective sense of self. Satire is confrontational. It’s about pushback, dissent, discord, disappointment, and demonstrating the absurdity of the status quo. This book is an attempt to explore how these aspects of satire help secure our sanity.＜/p＞＜p＞Aristotle famously said that humans are naturally political animals. We need political community to flourish and live good lives. But politics also entails unpopular decisions, oppression, and power struggles. Satire is a vehicle through which we reflect on and challenge the irrational, incomprehensible, and intolerable nature of our lives without becoming totally despondent or depressed.＜/p＞＜p＞In a poignant, pithy, but not ponderous manner, Al Gini and Abraham Singer delve into the history of satire to rejoice in its triumphs and watch its development from ancient graffiti to the latest late-night TV talk show.＜/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。	3,979円
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
God Mocks A History of Religious Satire from the Hebrew Prophets to Stephen Colbert【電子書籍】[ Terry Lindvall ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Winner of the 2016 Religious Communication Association Book of the Year Award＜/p＞＜p＞In God Mocks, Terry Lindvall ventures into the muddy and dangerous realm of religious satire, chronicling its evolution from the biblical wit and humor of the Hebrew prophets through the Roman Era and the Middle Ages all the way up to the present. He takes the reader on a journey through the work of Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales, Cervantes, Jonathan Swift, and Mark Twain, and ending with the mediated entertainment of modern wags like Stephen Colbert.＜/p＞＜p＞Lindvall finds that there is a method to the madness of these mockers: true satire, he argues, is at its heart moral outrage expressed in laughter. But there are remarkable differences in how these religious satirists express their outrage.The changing costumes of religious satirists fit their times. The earthy coarse language of Martin Luther and Sir Thomas More during the carnival spirit of the late medieval period was refined with the enlightened wit of Alexander Pope. The sacrilege of Monty Python does not translate well to the ironic voices of Soren Kierkegaard. The religious satirist does not even need to be part of the community of faith. All he needs is an eye and ear for the folly and chicanery of religious poseurs.＜/p＞＜p＞To follow the paths of the satirist, writes Lindvall, is to encounter the odd and peculiar treasures who are God’s mouthpieces. In God Mocks, he offers an engaging look at their religious use of humor toward moral ends.＜/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。	5,071円
An anthology of short stories Comedy, satire, romance, spoofs, Sci-Fi, an autobiography of a grandfather clock, and the invention of a new genre 'Weresheep'. '.【電子書籍】[ Colin Rigby ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A collection of short stories with a wide range of genre, from Sci-fi to satire. The book commences with a swipe at automated telephone responses, with which many will find a welcome target, perhaps. A spoof of the ubiquitous werewolf novel is followed by a short sci-fi story, and then my grandfather clock takes the stage and says what it thinks about its owner, which is not a lot. Another very short spoof on the genre of romantic fiction and an account of an imaginary election debate precedes the longest story, about Max, who undergoes a series of personality changes as the result of obsessive fears for his health. The collection concludes with an account of one man's reactions when his cruise ship starts to sink.＜/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。	472円
