Course Description
(Restricted to 50-75 words, present tense and active voice) / “Satire,” wrote Jonathan Swift, “is a sort of Glass, wherein Beholders do generally discover every body’s Face but their Own.” At once despondent and ironic – satiric, really – Swift’s statement points to a central question that haunted the practice of satire even in the era when it most flourished: what’s the point of it? Students examine this question through a close consideration of theory and practice in the Age of Satire. Particular attention is given to works by Dryden, Swift, and Pope.
