Description

Irony is a pervasive quality of human life, though its creative, comic potential is often overlooked. Traditionally, it has been cast in a subversive role, as the tool of the detached critic or sceptic. In Critical Irony, Renewed, Samuel Curkpatrick offers a fresh take, showing how irony can transform negativity to inspire imagination, hope and ethical action. Drawing on the work of literary theorist Terry Eagleton, this book explores the potential for irony to renew social and political imagination, while retaining a clear-eyed view of human fragility and limitation.
Curkpatrick examines Eagleton’s writings alongside the comic tonalities of Christian parables, revealing how irony can function as a means of saying by unsaying – a dynamic and paradoxical form of critical perspective that enriches human creativity, ethical engagement and cultural dialogue. Critical Irony, Renewed demonstrates that irony, far from undermining identity, faith and culture, opens new possibilities for understanding and transforming our world. A compelling exploration for scholars and general readers alike, this work redefines irony’s role in literature, culture, philosophy and theology, offering a glimpse of how we might think and act differently amid the very contradictions of human experience.
