This book revises assumptions about satire as a public, masculine
discourse derived from classical precedents, in order to develop
theoretical and critical paradigms that accommodate women, popular
culture, and postmodern theories of language as a potentially
aggressive, injurious act. Although Habermas places satirists like
Swift and Pope in the public sphere, this book investigates their
participation in clandestine strategies of attack in a world
understood to be harboring dangerous secrets. Authors of anonymous
pamphlets as well as major figures including Behn, Dryden, Manley,
Swift, and Pope, share at times what Swift called the writer's
"life by stealth."
