Literary satire assumes three main forms: monologue, parody, and narrative (some fictional, some dramatic). This book by Gilbert Highet is a study of these forms, their meaning, their variation, their powers. Its scope is the range of satirical literature-from ancient Greece to modern America, from Aristophanes to Ionesco, from the parodists of Homer to the parodists of Eisenhower. It shows how satire originated in Greece and Rome, what its initial purposes and methods were, and how it revived in the Renaissance, to continue into our own era.Contents: Preface. I. Introduction.

Aggressive Schreibweisen - Polemik, Invektive, vor allem aber "Satire" - sind seit der Antike einem Rechtfertigungsdruck ausgesetzt, der letztlich im Tabu der Kultur über Gewalt wurzelt. Die vorliegende Arbeit versteht Theoriebildung und Praxis "satirischen" Schreibens als Resultate einer produktiven Kraft dieses Aggressionstabus, die ein - über zwei Jahrhunderte verfolgtes - kulturelles Verhandlungsgeschehen in Gang setzt. Sie nimmt damit einen methodologischen Leitbegriff beim Wort, den das literaturgeschichtliche Denken des New Historicism eingeführt hat: Grenzen und Lizenzen "satirischen" Schreibens gilt es im (oft kontroversen) Dialog mit gesellschaftlichen Mächten erst auszuhandeln. In einer Reihe von "Korrelationsgeschichten" wird den vielfältigen Verknüpfungen literarischer, poetologischer und außerliterarischer Diskurse und Praktiken auf Schauplätzen nachgegangen, auf denen sonst einander fremde Instanzen im symbolischen Haushalt der Kultur miteinander kommunizieren: Literatur und Poetik mit dem Recht, der Medizin, der Pädagogik, der "Psychologie" und der Theologie ihrer Zeit. Die "extensiven" Rekonstruktionen werden durch drei intensive Analysen literarischer Texte abgerundet, die solche Verhandlungen in sich selbst austragen und zugleich deren Unabschließbarkeit dokumentieren: Christian Thomasius' »Ostergedancken« (1695), ein Stück aus Bodmer/Breitingers »Mahler der Sitten« (1746) und Theodor Haeckers »Dialog über die Satire« (1927).
