Comic and satiric literature from the 1670s to the 1740s is characterized by the word play of Augustan wit. John Sitter makes a challenging claim for the importance of wit in the writings of Dryden, Rochester, Prior, Berkeley, Gay, Pope and Swift, as an analytic mode as well as one of stylistic sophistication.
