About
"In Critical Synoptics, Carter Kaplan argues that Menippean satire represents a tradition of rigorous critical inquiry that can be compared to the reformation poetics of Milton and Blake, and the analytic philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. At once appealing to specialists in literary criticism, philosophy, satire, American and British Romanticism, and the study of science and literature, this book advances beyond the frontiers of the established, professional cultures of knowledge to make a forceful statement of humanistic understanding."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
