Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Satirical Element in the American Novel: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Satire being a compounding of three distinct elements, it follows that there will be great variation in what may properly be classed as satire. It may be decidedly indirect, where the criticism is merely implied in the situa tion; it may be less indirect, where the author puts the criticism into the mouth of one of his characters; or it may be still less indirect, where the author himself speaks ironically. In every case, however, there is insinua tion, rather than direct attack. Likewise with regard to the other two elements, wit and criticism, there may be wide variation. We must necessarily come upon some writing Which contains an infinitesimal amount of criticism, with a great deal of wit. Conversely, we shall find writing in which the criticism is strong, and the wit almost negligible. So long, however, as the three elements, wit, criticism, and indirectness of treatment, are present, we have satire, though it is often advisable to use, not the noun, but the adjective, and to say that the writing is satirical, or has a satirical quality.

Download or read book Poe and the Subversion of American Literature written by Robert T. Tally Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014 In Poe and the Subversion of American Literature, Robert T. Tally Jr. argues that Edgar Allan Poe is best understood, not merely as a talented artist or canny magazinist, but primarily as a practical joker who employs satire and fantasy to poke fun at an emergent nationalist discourse circulating in the United States. Poe's satirical and fantastic mode, on display even in his apparently serious short stories and literary criticism, undermines the earnest attempts to establish a distinctively national literature in the nineteenth century. In retrospect, Poe's work also subtly subverts the tenets of an institutionalized American Studies in the twentieth century. Tally interprets Poe's life and works in light of his own social milieu and in relation to the disciplinary field of American literary studies, finding Poe to be neither the poète maudit of popular mythology nor the representative American writer revealed by recent scholarship. Rather, Poe is an untimely figure whose work ultimately makes a mockery of those who would seek to contain it. Drawing upon Gilles Deleuze's distinction between nomad thought and state philosophy, Tally argues that Poe's varied literary and critical writings represent an alternative to American literature. Through his satirical critique of U.S. national culture and his otherworldly projection of a postnational space of the imagination, Poe establishes a subterranean, nomadic, and altogether worldly literary practice.
