Irony depends upon interpretation; it happens in the tricky, unpredictable space between expression and understanding. Irony's Edge is a fascinating, compulsively readable study of the myriad forms and the effects of irony. It sets out, for the first time, a sustained, clear analysis of the theory and the political contexts of irony, using a wide range of references from contemporary culture. Examples extend from Madonna to Wagner, from a clever quip in conversation to a contentious exhibition in aIronyPhilosophyElectronic books.Irony.Philosophy.128/.4808.001Hutcheon Linda1947,925868MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451074903321Irony's edge2457955UNINA
