The Satiric Novel

What is satire? What are its purposes and how does it work? Over ten weeks we will address these and other such question through the study of four classic novels of satire. We will assess each novel in its own right, exploring both its literary and satiric qualities, whilst also examining its relation to wider political and cultural issues.
