Abstract:

Twentieth century American literature has presented us with an impressive body of humorous fiction situated in the work and culture of higher education. An examination of some of the most popular and noteworthy texts in this genre reveals important messages that locate such fictional humor as complaint, comedy, and catharsis. However, in its determination to both vent and entertain, this literature generally does not rise to the instrumental levels of pure satire. Rather, it acts more as a wake-up call than a call to arms concerning the peculiarities, sometimes absurdities, of academic life.

Abstract:

This paper examines the vanity and consequences of the American Dream in four novels: Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, Jack London's The Iron Heel, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, and John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. A socio-political analysis of these authors and their works exposes the hollow nature of the dream. The Jungle is discussed from a racial and economic perspective, highlighting the plight of Jurgis and his Lithuanian family who are disillusioned in their pursuit of success. The Iron Heel is examined politically, showcasing the struggle between the capitalist class and wor

Abstract:

Abstract In its vast range of variants, the genre of the campus novel continues to thrive and be reinvented by contemporary writers. This essay focuses on a specific subgenre, the contemporary Black campus novel, and I intend to analyze compelling examples of the dualism of nostalgia and counter-nostalgia. While some of these campus-set stories are centered on, for example, murder mysteries and social satire, generally the Black campus novel has a more specific focus: the fictional and satirical representation of Black students and academics at university, constituting a window into the social

Abstract:

Woody Allen has long been seen as a definitive voice in American Jewish humor because of his films, but his short fiction has been largely ignored. An analysis of his fiction can, however, yield strong indications that while Allen himself may be an atheist, his prose owes a great debt to his religious upbringing and his ongoing religious literacy. This essay take a closer look at one particular story to note the ways in which Allen encounters religion in his fiction and uses his knowledge of Jewish scriptural forms to enhance the reader's experience of his satire. In this story, consisting of

Abstract:

The article addresses the 2007 novel Who Killed Andrei Warhol: The American Diary of a Soviet Journalist by Alexander J. Motyl, analyzing its literary representations of the factual and the counterfactual. In his comic narrative about the past, constructed in the form of a diary of a Soviet journalist, Motyl blurs the line between historical and fictionalized facts. As a result, fictional characters (journalist Ivanov, Soviet communists Kelebek and Kolibri, Katyusha) and historical persons (Andy Warhol, Julia Zawacka, Valerie Solanas, Gus Hall, Morris Childs) co-exist on equal footing.

Abstract:

The Every (2021) is an anti-utopian novel by a contemporary American writer Dave Eggers. The study relied on domestic and foreign research on the issues of artistic worldview, as well as on the genres of utopia, antiutopia, and dystopia. Modern anti-utopian fiction still remains understudied from the artistic outlook perspective. The research objective was to determine the key features of the anti-utopian worldview and analyze how they were implemented in the novel. Eggers’ world of the future is a possible world implemented through the system of images and ideas. It differs from other anti-ut

Abstract:

In the tradition of academic satire, Lady Lazarus is the fictional biography of the daughter of American rock musicians. In her late teens she rises to fame as confessional poet, who, despite only publishing one collection of poems during her brief life, becomes an overnight sensation. Author Andrew Altschul is satirizing academia’s need to be a part of popular culture and in doing so, privileges the ability to use controversy and conventional beauty to sell books as opposed to creating quality art. By focusing on how the author uses Hans Robert Jauss’ horizons of expectations, unreliable narr

Abstract In the 19th century, a hermeneutic innovation called dispensationalism gained popularity among evangelical Christians, particularly in England and the United States. It combined with another strand of belief called premillennialism to remix the Bible into a new and compelling apocalyptic narrative about the sudden disappearance of all Christians, and the seven years of tribulation that nonbelievers could be expected to endure under the tyranny of the Antichrist.

Abstract:

This chapter offers a snapshot of the current state of African American satire and muses on the possible directions it may take in the future. Using Trey Ellis’s formulation of the New Black Aesthetic as its touchstone, this chapter not only articulates how the New Black Aesthetic characterizes contemporary African American fiction, but also how its blindspot with respect to class issues. This chapter concludes that satire by its very nature disturbs the status quo, and there is no reason to doubt that it will continue to do so.

This Melville wanted to do for the United States, and he uses many of the same techniques as Balzac, such as recognizable traits from celebrities, biting satire, and humor worthy of Molière.

As such, it is no surprise that the illogic of the legal predicament in which Blacks found themselves was often articulated i

The discourse of the picturesque reshaped how Americans understood their landscape, but it largely ended in the mid-1870s. The decline of the picturesque can be illustrated in two emblematic works: Constance Fenimore Woolson’s 1872 short story “In Search of the Picturesque” and William Cullen Bryant’s enormous 1874 scenery book Picturesque America. Woolson’s fictional story is a satire of travel in which a young urban woman accompanies her grandfather to the countryside “in search of the picturesque” and instead only finds development. This story signals the shift in literary interest in rural
