Jones Loyola University Chicago 1 An ancient literary practice often aligned with satire, parody "comes of age as a major comic expression during the Romantic period," as Marilyn Gaull has observed, the same era that celebrated and became known for the literary virtues of sincerity, authenticity, and originality. [1] Significant recent anthologies of Romantic-period parodies make the sheer bulk and topical range of such imitative works available for readers and critics for the first time, providing ample evidence for the prominence of the form. [2] The weight of evidence in these collections should also put to rest the widespread assumption that parody is inevitably "comic" or gentler than satire, that it is essentially in good fun.

    no- G 1 COMEDY AND THE EARLY NOVELS OF IRIS MURDOCH Larry/Rockefeller A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1968 Approved by Doctoral Committee _Adviser Department of English I a Larry Jean Rockefeller 1969 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PREFACE Why has Iris Murdoch failed in her attempt to resur­ rect the novel of characters? That is the question which has perplexed so many readers who find in her novels sig­ nificant statements about the human condition rendered by a talent equalled only by a handful of other writers of our time, and it is the question which the pages follow­ ing try to answer. In general, the implicit argument under­ lying those pages is tripartite: (1) only comedy of a kind which resembles closely Murdoch's conception of love will allow a novelist to detach himself enough from his charac­ ters to give them a tolerant scope within which to humanly exist; (2) Murdoch has succeeded in maintaining that balanced synthesis between acceptance and judgement only in her earli­ est work and only with complete success in The Bell; and (3) the increasingly bitter tone of her satire — not to mention just the mere fact of her use of satire as a mode for character creation — has, in her most recent work, blighted the vitality of her characters by too strictly limiting them to usually negative meanings. Close analysis has been made, hence, of the ways in which comic devices affect us as readers in our perception of Murdoch's per­ sons.

    Wits, Shits, and Crits: The Problem of Digestive Interpretation in Pope, Swift, and Fielding A dissertation submitted for a Ph.D. in English literature Cornell University Christina Susanna Black August 2018 C.S. Black Wits, Shits, Crits 1 © 2018 Christina Susanna Black C.S. Black Wits, Shits, Crits 2 WITS, SHITS, AND CRITS: THE PROBLEM OF DIGESTIVE INTERPRETATION IN POPE, SWIFT, AND FIELDING Christina Susanna Black, Ph.D. Cornell University 2018 My readings of the abundant ingestion and excretion themes in literary works by Fielding, Swift, Montagu, and Pope propose that we can understand these topics as sustained metaphors for the bipartite issues of readers' consumption and writers' incorporation of a literary heritage into these texts. These issues were particularly salient in early eighteenth-century Britain, as printed texts become more broadly available and affordable, and readers could no longer be relied upon to have a top education and sophisticated tools of analysis. Authors like Fielding and Swift also were experimenting in new forms like the novel that had no standards for analysis. These authors were interested in and concerned about how their work and that of their contemporaries would stand up to future scrutiny. How did the changing economic incentives for writing, from courting wealthy patrons to selling in mass volume to unknown readers, affect literature’s claim to everlasting value? Pope was the first English author to earn a sustainable living from his writings, but that new economic viability also spawned Grub Street hack writing, not to mention unsavory publishing practices. In this historical context, sustained metaphors of eating and digesting were a playfully denigrating way for these writers to investigate what it meant to write for consumers, even as the metaphors also revivified older literary traditions and genres by incorporating them into modern contexts.

Using a range of examples from political comedy, this paper offers six distinguishing features and several temporal functions of this concept. I argue that the comic counterfactual invites audiences to critically reflect upon the political, social, and performative consequences of historical events by bringing affective, sensory weight to alternative visions, moving unaccountable private interests into public culture, targeting the subtle determinisms that can easily creep into communication, and creating plausible ways to reworld the status quo.

Use the brief category definitions (below each title) as a framework for recognizing the basic functions of devices. Then, for each definition, compare/contrast with closely related terms (hyperlinks), note the italics indicating differentiating/exclusive characteristics of each term and test yourself with the bold models or examples. Terms in red are especially important to know for analyzing style1 of creative literature (AP Lit, ENG 111); Terms in purple are especially pertinent to analysis of strategies for expository genres and argument (AP Lang, ENG 131); Pink indicates terms critical to both kinds of tasks (ALL classes). Green denotes important vocabulary related to elements of literature and components of argument—addressed elsewhere in my classes—for each term. Modes pre-established literary forms to which text can conform; modes may acquire specialized characteristics within different schools, periods and/or genres Allegory.

  • Resuscitating Romantic Irony in Metamodern Poetics
    Department of English The Point of Play Resuscitating Romantic Irony in Metamodern Poetics Jonathan Brott BA Thesis Literature Spring 2018 Instructor: Giles Whiteley Abstract This essay investigates the prospect of Romantic Irony’s potential resurgence in contemporary poetics and discusses its relevance and likeness with metamodernism. The internet has by now not only seeped into, but fully permeated, the process of literary production and distribution. The effect of this has been the birth of a new kind of poetic discourse which can broadly be called metamodernism, The New Sincerity or Alt-lit. This movement is characterized by its self-reflexive metacommentary, fragmentary nature and an oscillation between of irony and sincerity. Vermeulen and Akker, among others, have hinted at metamodernism’s relation to Romanticism, but research into the specifics of its tendency towards Romantic Irony is scarce. By viewing the writings of Steve Roggenbuck (a central figure in the new poetic movement), alongside the philosophy of Friedrich Schlegel, I propose a comparative framework for discussion of sincerity, irony and the instrumentalization of contemporary metamodernist writing. I demonstrate that Roggenbuck’s writing displays narratological, tropological and thematic tendencies commonly associated with both Romantic Irony and metamodernism. Apart from broader structural comparison, I attempt a comparative analysis between Roggenbuck’s poetry (2010-2015) and Thomas Carlyle’s novel “Sartor Resartus” (1833-1834) in order to provide a visualisation of the rhetorical and narratological strategies of Romantic Irony. I aim to frame Romantic Irony as a sensibility, or mode of discourse - rather than a strict system of thought - which may still be at work today.
