Menippean Satire Reconsidered

From Antiquity to the Eighteenth Century

Beschreibung

In this magisterial work, Howard D. Weinbrot offers a new and lucid account of Menippean satire. He argues that in the wake of twentieth-century critics, notably Frye and Bakhtin, this complex literary category has been too broadly associated with "philosophic ideas" expressed in dialogic voices or languages and proposes instead more rigorous but fluid criteria that incorporate several key elements.
