One of three forthcoming books from Cambridge University Press we have recently indexed, Shane Herron’s Irony and Earnestness in Eighteenth-Century Literature: Dimensions of Satire and Solemnity, is a compelling examination of the uses of satire, particularly in its earnest forms, in eighteenth-century British literature. Covering works by Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, Aphra Behn, and Edmund Burke, among others, Herron’s study offers new and important analysis of satire that is particularly relevant to our contemporary moment. It will be available for purchase in April 2022. For more information, please see the publisher’s website here.
