Review
"Employing apt historical examples, Tarez Samra Graban fully engages her readers with various iterations of irony--revealing the means by which irony connects speakers and writers with historians of their work, transforms our understanding of the archive, and exposes the complexity and creativity of many types of public discourse. Graban's is the first study to employ history and theory to focus on how irony might shape an influential text and how it might influence readers of different time periods."--Katherine H. Adams, Loyola University New Orleans
