The Function of Humour in Roman Verse Satire: Laughing and Lying

Autor Maria Plaza
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 dec 2007
Maria Plaza sets out to analyse the function of humour in the Roman satirists Horace, Persius, and Juvenal. Her starting point is that satire is driven by two motives, which are to a certain extent opposed: to display humour, and to promote a serious moral message. She argues that, while the Roman satirist needs humour for his work's aesthetic merit, his proposed message suffers from the ambivalence that humour brings with it. Her analysis shows that this paradox is not only socio-ideological but also aesthetic, forming the ground for the curious, hybrid nature of Roman satire.

Recenzii

The book's real strength and unique contribution lies in its apt descriptions of the distinct 'worlds' that the three satirists create with their respective subject-matter and styles of humour.
I mean to recommend Plaza's ruse of power (her book) as good-humoured literary criticism, easily our funkiest account of Roman humour, and trust that my judgement may count as reasonable.
