Jonathan Swift “satire is a glass wherein beholders generally discover everybody's face but their own, which is the chief reason [...] that so very few are offended with it”

Genre vs Mode Genre: a type or category of art/text defined by structural (or formal) and thematic criteria (e.g., epic, novel, essay, short story) Mode: a broader category which is thematically specific but non-specific as to literary form of representation.
