Table of ContentsReviews'The book is well structured, well argued, and well written … Recommended.' J. T. Lynch, Choice '… Herron provides an in-depth and exhaustive examination of Swift's irony and his earnest engagements while considering all their moral and political implications. Beginning with a discussion of the irony of The Colbert Report and closing with a discussion of contemporary conspiracy theories, this study dwells on that most complex and confusing aspect of irony and the role of the satirist - 'the ability to genuinely, even affectionately, channel and inhabit its targets'. The result for this reader is that I now read Swift, and The Onion, with a new critical appreciation.' Scott Nowka, Eighteenth-Century Fiction Author InformationShane Herron is a contributing editor at The Scriblerian. He holds Academic Status in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Flinders University, and has taught English at a number of Universities in the US.
