| Abstract: |
This thesis consists of analytical readings of literary satire including Horace's first book of verse satire; Juvenal's Satires I, III, and X; the formal verse satire of John Donne; and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, with focus on Part IV. In the introduction, I discuss the areas of critical approaches to satire which interest me, namely to what extent satire can be viewed as earnest moral instruction and various issues that arise when a satire is given in the first person ('persona theory'.) The purpose of this thesis is to explore great works of satire mostly with regard to these two areas. I do not set out to provide a comprehensive system of what 'satire' is, yet my exploration does lead to a few general assertions � namely that a study of the 'I' satirist as a dramatic creation separate from the author reveals complicated attitudes at work within the satire. These findings lead to the conclusion that, rather than being the author's spokesperson for a simple moral lesson, the satirist is better viewed as an exploration of or an approach to morality. |
