Reviews
"This book forms a substantial contribution to literary studies and is likely to be the standard work on the subject for a decade or two … .The chapters are densely detailed, the vocabulary elevated." (Reference Reviews, Issue 4 2008)
“The long eighteenth century is well represented in Blackwell's A Companion to Satire: Ancient and Modern, edited by Ruben Quintero,which contains nine full essays and parts of several others devoted to the period … .This sturdy volume should be of use to a variety of readers from advanced undergraduates to scholars seeking refresher (or crash) courses on either major satirists … or less familiar topics and subtopics.” (Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Summer 2008)
"Offering a valuable contribution to the critical study of satire, Quintero has assembled insightful essays by an impressive roster of scholars...This book serves as a cogent, instructive overview of satire." (Choice)
“This book obviously brings to readers a dazzling variety of topics relating to satire. There is a rich abundance of material here, surely something for everyone. Indeed, the quality of these essays is uniformly high. All are well-written, well-researched, thoughtful, and insightful examinations of an assortment of satiric expressions. The array of subject matter is compelling. Primarily, we are given thorough, informative overviews of the major players, issues, eras, and types of satire. This book … makes an invaluable contribution to the study of that form.” (Notes and Queries)
