ABC-CLIO's Encyclopedia of Satirical Literature brings together commentary on some of the best and most influential satirical works from throughout history and around the world. Organized alphabetically, it lists key works and characters, authors, pertinent terms, styles, and literary periods. Entries for individual works feature plot summaries and analyses of satirical content. Author entries include glimpses of colorful lives and masterly achievements. This illustrated volume also includes a timeline of satire covering works from the eighth century B.C. to the present; cross-references and bibliographic citations with each entry; a master bibliography; and a comprehensive subject index. Differentiating the genre of satire from the incidental use of satire, it illustrates the various forms this universal literary tool can take in the fight against the perceived evils that cling to social inequality, wealth and power, political and ecclesiastical corruption, war, and industrialization.
