Parody
Excerpt from Parody
In the sphere of Letters parody is the quizzical art, the art of the man with the eyeglass, quick to seize the mannerisms of his betters and to raise a laugh by a piece of outrageous fooling, or by a whiff of gentle malice. It is an art which has survived the clumsy handling of the novices, which has developed in subtlety with the development of literature itself, and which has never perhaps had so just a claim to the title of an art as at the present moment, when even genius is obliged to be brilliant in order to get a hearing.
