by Claire Colebrook (Author)
An overview of the history and structure of irony, this guide traces its use through history, from Greek times to the Romantic period and on to the postmodern era. It looks closely at the work of Socrates and the more contemporary theorists; explores the philosophical, literary and political dimensions; and applies theories to literary texts.
