The Politics of Irony: Essays in Self-Betrayal

by Daniel W. Conway

This volume presents ten essays - all previously unpublished - that explore the ironic dimension of politics. Although most scholars hold the respective claims of irony and politics to be irreconcilable, these authors variously examine the wayward premise that politics is perhaps unavoidably ironic.
