  • Summary

  • In the political turmoil of mid-1990s Britain, a brilliant

    young comic named Harry Enfield set out to satirize the ideology and politics

    of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. His parodies became famous. He wrote and

    performed a vicious sendup of the typical Thatcherite nouveau riche buffoon. People

    loved it. And what happened? Exactly the opposite of what Enfield hoped would

    happen. In an age dominated by political comedy, “The Satire Paradox”asks whether laughter and social

    protest are friends or foes.
