Irony depends upon interpretation; it happens in the tricky, unpredictable space between expression and understanding.Irony's Edge is a fascinating, compulsively readable study of the myriad forms and the effects of irony. It sets out, for the first time, a sustained, clear analysis of the theory and the political contexts of irony, using a wide range of references from contemporary culture. Examples extend from Madonna to Wagner, from a clever quip in conversation to a contentious exhibition in a museum.Irony's Edge outlines and then challenges all the major existing theories of irony, providing the most comprehensive and critically challengin theory of irony to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51858908479776,"sku":"NEW0415054524","price":327.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71gUmGwgzwL.jpg?v=1781584237","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ironys-edge-the-theory-and-politics-of-irony-0415054524","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
