Evelyn Waugh's Satire takes a different approach: using frameworks of modernist studies, intertextuality, satire theory, and the contexts of the interwar period, Milthorpe renews debates about the targets and tactics of Waugh's satire."--Provided by publisherSatire, EnglishHistory and criticismSatire, EnglishHistory and criticism.823/.912Milthorpe Naomi1557497MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798547503321Evelyn Waugh's satire3821061UNINA
