{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-eighteenth-century-satire-9780198727835","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Eighteenth-Century Satire","description":"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\u003cbr\u003einvective 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\u003cbr\u003ebeginning shot through with satirical colours borrowed from popular romances and scandal sheets. This \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e 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\u003cbr\u003eand the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. Outlier chapters extend the story back to 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\u003cbr\u003eage that this book serves as a broad and characteristic survey of its literature. \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Eighteenth-Century Satire\u003c\/em\u003e 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, \u003cbr\u003eintellectual, and socio-historical approaches to the period's texts can come together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paddy Bullard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198727835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaddy Bullard, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of English Literature and Book History, University of Reading\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaddy Bullard is Associate Professor of English Literature and Book History at the University of Reading.
