Though Lucian's (A.D. c. 115-200) tendency to debunk everything might well have made him depressing reading, his light-hearted fantasy and wit have always had the opposite effect. His contribution to European literature may be seen in his influence on Rabelais, Erasmus, More, Swift, Voltaire, and Fielding. These sketches present him primarily as a humorous writer, making Lucian's special charm accessible to an age which largely shares his spirit.Turner, Paul is the author of 'Satirical Sketches' with ISBN 9780253205810 and ISBN 0253205816.
