This edited collection brings together literary scholars and art
historians, and maps how satire became a less genre-driven and
increasingly visual medium in the seventeenth through the early
nineteenth century. Changing satire demonstrates how satire
proliferated in various formats, and discusses a wide range of
material from canonical authors like Swift to little known
manuscript sources and prints. As the book emphasises, satire was a
frame of reference for well-known authors and artists ranging from
Milton to Bernini and Goya. It was moreover a broad European
phenomenon: while the book focuses on English satire, it also
considers France, Italy, The Netherlands and Spain, and discusses
how satirical texts and artwork could move between countries and
languages. In its wide sweep across time and formats, Changing
satire brings out the importance that satire had as a transgressor
of borders. -- .
