Nothing to admire : the politics of poetic satire from Dryden to Merrill /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

This work argues for the persistence of a central tradition of poetic satire in English that extends from Restoration England to present-day America. The tradition is seen as rooted in the uses of Augustan metaphor to criticize the abuse of social and political power and to promote freedom of mind.
