Annotation:
	Draws on Shakespeare to advance a new literary history of mock heroic in early modern English literature, showing how satire of the military "transforms heroic literature from within." Focuses on features that critique the logic of the epic, such as judgmental narrators, lower-class soliloquy, and soldiers who criticize commanders.
