Satiren Der Europaischen Aufklarung

In the century of Enlightenment, the art form of satire evolved in ways never seen before. However, that satirical energy, initially fueled by a hope for change, gradually waned over the century, ultimately giving way to a defeatist attitude, as Jörg Schönert has shown. This volume takes up his studies on satire and expands on them from a comparatist perspective.
