      The edge of irony, states the author, is always a social and political edge. Irony depends upon interpretation; it happens in the tricky, unpredictable space between expression and understanding. "Irony's Edge" is a 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. And the stakes are high - many radical artists and cultural activists consider irony to be usefully subversive; others see it as one of the more negative aspects of postmodern discourse. Can irony be a strategy, a way of undermining relations of power?;"Irony's Edge" outlines and then challenges all the major existing theories of irony, providing a comprehensive and critically challenging theory. Linda Hutcheon is the author of a number of related books, including "The Politics of Postmodernism".
