Theorizing Satire: A Bibliography
Brian A. Connery, Professor of English
The following bibliography is not intended to be exhaustive and does not pretend to be objective. I've tried to include works which offer general insight into the nature and dynamics of satire, or its tropes and strategies, or which offer an example of the application to satire of a theory of reading or interpretation. Thus, studies of individual works or authors which don't explicitly address more general issues related to satire or which do not offer paradigmatic ways of reading satire have been excluded. On the other hand, relatively narrow studies of specific types of satire or satirical rhetoric have been included, as have studies of the course of satire over periods of thirty years or more in a national literature. In an attempt to broaden the base of theory upon which to draw in discussions of satire, I've included works on related topics, such as humor, irony, language, and rhetoric. In some cases, I've included works treating topics peripheral to satire (e.g., comedy), not with the intention of blurring the already hazy theoretical line between them but with the assumption that in order to draw the line one must know what lies beyond it. Similarly, I've included works based in anthropology, psychology, and sociology which seem potentially pertinent and fruitful to students of literary satire. By including such works, I may in some cases have acted contrary to the intentions of the authors, who see their topics or theses as distinct from satire, and I beg their indulgence for my implicit suggestion that their work be used to slightly different purposes.
While this bibliography will provide a strong foundation for the reader who is just beginning to investigate satire, my hope is that even veteran students of the subject will discover new resources and approaches within this eclectic mix.
Portions of this work were undertaken during a Summer Seminar sponsored and funded by National Endowment for the Humanities, and I am grateful to the NEH for its assistance as well as to my fellow seminarists, to John Sitter, who directed the seminar, and to the contributors of the essays in the book, Theorizing Satire, for their helpful suggestions.
Over the next two or three years, I will be annotating the bibliography, as well as updating it in preparation for publication in a bound print volume. Annotations will be brief statements about the scope of the works and the theory of satire promulgated or implied in the works. Users of this bibliography are invited to supply annotations (credit will be given to contributors both as I update the bibliography and when it is published), to suggest additional citations, and, of course, to correct any errors by sending me e-mail at connery@oakland.edu.
