	Ship of Fools
		Also known as the Stultifera Navis or Ship of Fools, the work was first published in German, but there was a gradual demand for it to be translated into all the leading European languages of the time.
		The fools themselves are depicted with ass-eared head-dresses, laden with bells, and occasionally carrying a "fool-stick" which has a replica fool’s head on its end.
		The Ship of Fools may be thought of as a blend of tradition and innovation.

	MSN Encarta - Satire
		Satire, in literature, prose or verse that employs wit in the form of irony, innuendo, or outright derision to expose human wickedness and folly.
		Satire was conspicuously present in many forms of medieval literature: the fabliau, goliardic verse (see Latin Literature), beast fables, and dream allegories such as the 13th-century Le Roman de la Rose and the 14th-century English poem The Vision of William Concerning Piers the Plowman, better known as Piers Plowman, which is attributed to William Langland.
		Satire appeared on the 17th-century English stage in the plays of Ben Jonson and later in two masterly verse satires: Hudibras (1663-1678), a burlesque of Puritanism by Samuel Butler, and the political satire Absalom and Achitophel (1681-1682) by John Dryden.

		A wealth of satire was produced by the poet Alexander Pope; the essayist Joseph Addison; the novelists Henry Fielding, Tobias George Smollett, and Jane Austen; and—most notably—the writer Jonathan Swift, whose passionate concern for individual human life paradoxically cast him in the role of misanthrope.
		Satire on war in the 20th century ranges from the masterly novel sequence The Good Soldier Schweik (1920-1923) by the Czech writer Jaroslav Hasek to the ribaldry of Catch-22 (1961), a novel by the American writer Joseph Heller that became extremely popular.
		Satirical thrusts at the lifestyles of their fellow Americans in the second half of the 20th century have been aimed, subtly, by John Cheever and John Updike in their stories and novels and, in more barbed fashion, by Tom Wolfe in his essays on topical subjects.
