Looks at works of modern literature, visual art, music, film, theater, and architecture to arrive at an assessment of what parody is and what it does. This title identifies parody as one of the major forms of modern self-reflexivity, one that marks the intersection of invention. It discusses the remarkable range of intent in modern parody.

Trade Review
"Linda Hutcheon's thoughtful engagement with the theory of parody picks its way meticulously through this conceptual minefield, to emerge with a convincing map of the terrain... [A] scrupulously reasoned case made more persuasive by the tenacity with which its details have been pursued." -- Terence Hawkes, Times Literary Supplement
