A new history of satire that brings foundational scholarship up to date with the theoretical and historical insights of literary studies from the last three decades, this book is a substantive introduction for undergraduate and graduate students, and an essential gateway to more advanced studies.

This groundbreaking study recognises the importance of satire and the grotesque to modernist fiction. It brings together the burgeoning field of modernist studies with new theories of emotion to illuminate why comic and satiric strategies for handling problems of feeling and representation have proved so effective in modern times.
