Abstract

Satire and war have a longstanding literal and metaphoric relationship. Satire has long been the medium to criticize war, while also being figured itself as literary ‘warfare.’ This essay examines the interplay between war and satire in two early modern English prose texts, Thomas Nashe’s The vnfortunate trauller (1594) and Thomas Dekker’s Worke for armorours (1609). Both writers contributed satirical works to literary ‘wars’ of the period, but this essay moves away from their literary feuds and argues that Nashe and Dekker’s prose employ sites of war as settings for social satire and to explore how war, like satire, functions a force that disrupts as a means to correct social abuses.
讽刺,有什么好处?
讽刺和战争有着长期的字面和隐喻关系。长期以来,讽刺作品一直是批评战争的媒介,同时也被视为文学上的“战争”。本文考察了两篇早期现代英语散文——托马斯·纳什的《不幸的拖船》(1594)和托马斯·德克尔的《盔甲的工作》(1609)——中战争与讽刺之间的相互作用。两位作家都为这一时期的文学“战争”贡献了讽刺作品,但这篇文章远离了他们的文学斗争,认为纳什和德克尔的散文将战争场所作为社会讽刺的背景,并探讨战争如何像讽刺一样,作为一种破坏社会的力量,作为纠正社会滥用的手段。
