Mock Ritual in the Modern Era

By: Reginald McGinnis,John Vignaux Smyth

Mock Ritual in the Modern Era explores the complex interrelations between ritual and mockery, the latter of which is not infrequently the unofficial face of claims to rationality. McGinnis and Smyth consider how the mocking and parodying of ritual often associated with modern rationalism may itself become ritualized, and other ways in which supposedly sham ritual may survive its "outing." This volume traces the evolution of "mock ritual" in various forms throughout the modern era, as found in literary, historical, and anthropological texts as well as encyclopedias, newspapers, and films. Mock Ritual in the Modern Era places famous eighteenth- and nineteenth-century authors in dialogue with contemporary popular culture, from Diderot, Sterne, and Flaubert to the TV shows Survivor and Judge Judy, and from Voltaire to the Charlie Hebdo tragedy of 2015. Ritualistic and mock ritualistic aspects of comedy and ridicule are considered along with those, notably, of sexuality, medicine, art, education, and justice.

Bech at Bay

By: John Updike

In this, the final volume in John Updike’s mock-heroic trilogy about the Jewish American writer Henry Bech, our hero is older but scarcely wiser. Now in his seventies, he remains competitive, lecherous, and self-absorbed, lost in a brave new literary world where his books are hyped by Swiss-owned conglomerates, showcased in chain stores attached to espresso bars, and returned to warehouses three weeks after publication. In five chapters more startling and surreal than any that have come before, Bech presides over the American literary scene, enacts bloody revenge on his critics, and wins the world’s most coveted writing prize. It’s not easy being Henry Bech in the post-Gutenbergian world, but somebody has to do it, and he brings to the task his signature mixture of grit, spit, and ennui.

An Evening's Love

By: John Dryden

An Evening's Love; or, The Mock Astrologer" by John Dryden is a delightful comedy that offers audiences a charming blend of wit, romance, and mistaken identities. Set in Restoration-era London, the play follows the antics of its colorful characters as they navigate the world of love, courtship, and fortune-telling. At the heart of the story is the Mock Astrologer, a whimsical figure who uses his supposed powers to manipulate the romantic affairs of those around him. As the plot unfolds, secrets are revealed, hearts are broken, and true love triumphs in unexpected ways. With its lively dialogue, clever wordplay, and playful satire of society's foibles, "An Evening's Love" is a testament to Dryden's skill as a playwright and his ability to entertain and delight audiences. Through its witty repartee and comedic situations, the play offers a humorous reflection on the timeless themes of love, deception, and the search for happiness.
