Abstract
The first chapter deals with David Lodge’s autobiography. It then discusses
Britain’s state after the war. In the 1950s the ”Movement of the Angry Men”
took place. In this chapter we come close to David Lodge, the realist,
whose interest in society is reflected in his novels.
The second chapter goes deep down to the essence of the term
”Comedy”. It traces the historical development of comedy throughout the
ages until Lodge’s time. Here we learn of Lodge’s comedy and where his
comic greatness lies, as applied to his respective novels. The last part of
the chapter discusses Kingsley Amis and Lodge. In spite of the differences
between them , they share many common traits. The last chapter is about Lodge the satirist. The word ”satire” is clarified
and the three types of satire are portrayed. Here we learn of the method of
satire, the forms of satire and the two related kinds of satire. Lodge
belongs to the comedy and farce type .Many writers deal with comedy as if it were indistinguishable from
satire,T.G.A.Nelson suggests two factors that distinguish comic and satiric
texts.
Highet suggests seven tests that guide us to consider whether the work
is satiric or not: each test is applied to Lodge. This chapter deals with the
academic life and ends in Lodge’s novels.
