Two forms of satire are illustrated by Dr. John W. Dodds in this first of two programs that include selections ranging from Swift to S.J. Perelman. Savage, withering satire as expressed by excerpts from Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” and Samuel Butler’s “Hudibras,” and satire on types of people by author G.B. Shaw, Ogden Nash, and S.J. Perleman are read by Dodds.
Dr. Feinberg addresses satire; why satire is used, how it combines humor and criticism, its relationship to the nature of reality, and how it causes laughter. Dr. Feinberg points out that cosmic irony, social irony, and individual irony are the basis for satire, and discusses and illustrates each of these three forms.
