Offering both the first major revision of satiric rhetoric in decades and a critical account of the modern history of satire criticism, Fredric V. Bogel maintains that the central structure of the satiric mode has been misunderstood. Devoting attention to Augustan satiric texts and other examples of satire—from writings by Ben Jonson and Lord Byron to recent performance art—Bogel finds a complicated interaction between identification and distance, intimacy and repudiation.Drawing on anthropological insights and the writings of Kenneth Burke, Bogel articulates a rigorous, richly developed theory of satire. While accepting the view that the mode is built on the tension between satirist and satiric object, he asserts that an equally crucial relationship between the two is that of intimacy and identification; satire does not merely register a difference and proceed to attack in light of that difference. Rather, it must establish or produce difference.The book provides fresh analyses of eighteenth-century texts by Jonathan Swift, John Gay, Alexander Pope, Henry Fielding, and others. Bogel believes that the obsessive play between identification and distance and the fascination with imitation, parody, and mimicry which mark eighteenth-century satire are part of a larger cultural phenomenon in the Augustan era—a questioning of the very status of the category and of categorical distinctness and opposition.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Cologne (Englisches Seminar), course: British and Irish Modernist Literature, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse how and why Evelyn Waugh as a late modernist writer voiced social criticism in his satire Decline and Fall. To do so, I will firstly demonstrate Evelyn Waugh’s representativeness for the literary genres of modernism and satire. Furthermore, I will examine exemplarily Waugh’s attacks on the education system and the penal system, both represented in the novel by Scone College, Llanabba Castle, Blackstone Gaol and Egdon Heath Prison. I do so based on the assumption that for Waugh it is in those systems that the flaws and faults of British modern society originated. In the early 20th century, Britain went through a process of change and became more modern. Industrialisation and its rapidly growing cities led society to shake off Victorian ideals and principles. And the Great War from 1914 to 1918 changed the British people forever. Although it was firstly considered as a great adventure and brought about the empowerment of women, it left the country and its society in a profound crisis and raised endless questions. New ways of coping with reality in this age of uncertainty were needed. The literary genre which today is called modernism dealt with this era particularly through experimenting with literary forms and styles. Late modernism on the other hand was more focused on social criticism and preferably used satire as a means of expression. Evelyn Waugh was a late modernist writer who wrote a number of famous social satires to criticise and to pillory the British society of the 1920s. For him, it was made up of indifferent, overly class conscious people who were incapable of having profound feelings and who placed more importance on status and money than on anything else. Moreover, an overall lack of piety, morals and most importantly boundaries, has led to a self-indulgent, mercenary society in constant decline.
