This book examines the role of parody in the English poetry and prose of the eighteenth century. It focuses on polyphony, intertextuality and deconstruction in parodic genres, in Alexander Pope’s satires and John Gay’s mock-pastoral poems. It examines the key role of parody in the novels by Henry Fielding and Laurence Sterne.
