Sixty Years of Satire

Analyzes American satire during the past half-century and probes the relationship between satirical form and content and the life and culture of the times. Discusses such humorists of the 20s and 30s as Ring Lardner, Will Rogers, and James Thurber, who were making us laugh at ourselves--at our foibles and frailties, our cliches and conformities. Shows that by the 50s satire had begun to languish under the specter of McCarthyism and humorists were turning to a new form of satire, aptly dubbed "sick" humor.
