Gurewitch (English, Brown U.) examines the role which ironic temper plays in the creation of complex literary comedy and argues that ironic comedy is best understood when contrasted with satiric comedy. He analyzes works by authors such as De Quincey, Sartre, and Waugh, and considers revulsion from bourgeois civilization, Phyrrhonic irony, and ironic comedy in modern fiction. Annotation c.
