Product Information
Despite the long history of Menippean satire from antiquity to early modern Europe, the genre often has resisted precise definition and has evoked critical controversy. In this magisterial work, the author offers a new and lucid account of the complex literary form.

He is also breathtakingly learned." -- John J. Burke, Jr., Eighteenth-Century Life, This admirable study makes for the thoughtful taming of an otherwise intractable form, both in the weight that it brings to bear upon its separate arguments and in the care that it applies to their articulation., This book... offers a strong model for determining the canon and demands that future discussions proceed with care., Professor Weinbrot has provided us with a lively, stimulating and readable discussion...
