Abstract

This article is devoted to the question of the continuity of the satirical tradition of British prose writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. A comparative analysis of samples of satirical novels by individual classics of British literature (Samuel Butler, George Meredith, and Aldous Huxley) is given. A parallel is drawn between the works of Aldous Huxley and Pamela Hansford Johnson, similarities are noted in the formulation of the problem (the relationship between the artist and society), in the images of the main characters. The key point is the analysis of the features of satire by P.H. Johnson on the example of the novel "The Unspeakable Skipton". An assessment of the writer's contribution to English literature is given.
