A King and a Fool?: The Succession Narrative as a Satire de Virginia Miller

A King and a Fool?: The Succession Narrative as a Satire: Biblical Interpretation Series, cartea 179

Autor Virginia Miller
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 aug 2019
In A King and a Fool? The Succession Narrative as a Satire Virginia Miller applies a new version of Douglas Muecke’s taxonomy of irony to the Succession Narrative. She argues that the narrative in 2 Samuel and 1 Kings has the essential feature of satire, namely, a pervasive sense of pejoratively critical irony. By her account, King David is the object of ironic attack, and therefore, an object of condemnation. Given that the primary purpose of satire is reform, Miller claims that the purpose of the Succession Narrative is a call for reform in the leadership of Israel.

Recenzii

"The story of David and his progeny in 2 Samuel–1 Kings (and 1 Samuel!) is a masterful piece of literature, and it is not surprising that it has defied easy classification. Miller’s work has made a persuasive case that this literature is rife with irony and has made a strong case for identifying it as a satire. Whether or not this study persuades scholarship to view the Succession Narrative as satire, this work is one that has pushed the conversation forward and will need to be considered in future work on David’s story."
