This is a call to all of the literary giants of Kirupa! 🙂

I’m doing a research paper on Juvenalian satire in American and British literature, and I know some of you would be able to help me.

Here’s a definition of Juvenalian satire: any bitter and ironic criticism of contemporary persons and institutions that is filled with personal invective, angry moral indignation, and pessimism.

The only two examples I can think of are Clockwork Orange and Lord of the Flies.  
So, do you know of any literature that has this type of literary device in it?  
I would **really,really** appreciate it! 🙂

Take care,
