Examines the historical development of parody in order to examine its place, purpose and practice in the postmodern world of contemporary artforms.
Linda Hutcheon, a professor of English at the University of
Toronto, is the author of Irony's Edge: The Theory and Politics of
Irony, Narcissistic Narrative: The Metafictional Paradox, and other
books.
"Linda Hutcheon's thoughtful engagement with the theory of parody picks its way meticulously through this conceptual minefield, to emerge with a convincing map of the terrain... [A] scrupulously reasoned case made more persuasive by the tenacity with which its details have been pursued." -- Terence Hawkes, Times Literary Supplement
