Comedy & Satire
Classic comic and satirical novels.
The century laughing at itself, and doing it with a straight face. Satire keeps better than almost anything else in literature, because the vanities it goes after have not changed: the self-important clerk, the improving pamphlet, the man certain he is the hero of the story. Each Aeneas Press edition presents the complete work with spelling and punctuation in present-day American usage, illustrated with credited full-page plates.
