Abstract:

"Parody is everywhere in contemporary modern culture. It runs through literature, theatre and television, architecture, films, and even everyday speech." "Drawing on examples from Aristophanes to The Simpsons, Dentith explores the place of parody in the history of literature and introduces key controversies surrounding this mode of writing. He explores the subversive or conservative nature of parody and its pivotal role in recent postmodernist debate and, crucially, aspects of the form in the to-and-fro of linguistic and cultural exchange, from ancient times to the present."--BOOK JACKET.
