About the Author
About the author:
D. J. Enright, poet and critic, is the editor of Fair of Speech: The Uses of Euphemism, and The Oxford Book of Death. His most recent volume of poetry is Instant Chronicles: A Life.
From Library Journal
From Samuel Johnson's pithy definition of it as "a mode of speech of which the meaning is contrary to the words" through abundant examples culled from centuries of European and American literature, Enright romps through the concept of irony. With his poet's sensitivity to the telling limits of ambiguity and his scholar's scope of source materials, Enright makes a contribution to the study of words at play that invites both the serious student and the dilettante to join in "the exploration of individual ironies as they are manifest in life as well as in literature." Highly recommended for most public and academic collections. Francisca Goldsmith, Golden Gate Univ. Lib., San Francisco
