Stuart Maconie in The Observer described the opening section of the book as "brilliant" but stated that the section on The Smiths is "both sketchy and wearisomely exhaustive". Literary critic Terry Eagleton, in The Guardian itself, wrote: "There is a relish and energy about its prose that undercuts his misanthropy. Its lyrical quality suggests that beneath the hard-bitten scoffer there lurks a romantic softie, while beneath that again lies a hard-bitten scoffer."Terry Eagleton "Autobiography by Morrissey – review", The Guardian, 13 November 2013 A.

The correct reading of the father's name is disputed (suggested readings are: Anatom, Aghatos, Tobias, MenachemZuckerman, Princedom. p. 308\. (citing Neubauer and Graetz)) but it is clear to Zuckerman that Salomon is member of the Makhiri clan or married into it, because two of his ancestors bore this family name. This text also implies that Salomon frustrated the efforts of Hincmar, archbishop of Reims ("... broke in pieces the horn of the scoffer...").Zuckerman, Princedom. pp. 308.

It takes a humane point of view and is tolerant toward those of a different belief. Despite several printings of the diwan as a whole and the final poem individual, and despite some attempts at translation, the book is little known or disseminated. His contemporaries even censured Immanuel as a wanton scoffer, because he is occasionally flippant even in religious matters. He fared worse with later critics, and Yosef Karo, author of the Shulchan Aruch codex of Jewish law, forbade the reading of his poems altogether.

Duchesne was regarded by some as a scoffer > and a vandal among pious traditions. But by those who knew him, he was > regarded as a master of the sciences which are auxiliary to ecclesiastical > history.

Romanelli supported himself by teaching and by writing Hebrew and Italian poems for weddings, patriotic feasts, and similar occasions; but, being erratic and a scoffer of religion, he made very many enemies, and always lived in great poverty. Besides his Hebrew poems, he wrote translations, especially of the prayer-book, from Hebrew into Italian and from Italian into Hebrew. Notable among his translations from Italian are those of Metastasio's melodrama "Themistocles" and Maffei's tragedy "Merope"; the latter has been edited by Weikert, a Benedictine monk (Rome, 1903, 2d ed. 1904), while the former is still in manuscript.

Bent then spots Willie and chases him; Willie escapes by diving into a raging river, from which he emerges weak and sick. Though running a fever, Willie steals a horse and makes a long, hard ride back to Wham to warn Destry of Bent's treachery. So warned, Destry fights his way out of a trap Bent has laid for him. The story's emotional climax occurs when Destry realizes Willie risked his life to save him and might very well die: > ...he felt a sudden scorn for the baser parts that were in him, the idler, > the scoffer at others, the disdainful mocker at the labors of life.

In The Two Gentlemen of Verona, a play about two brothers and also set in Verona, Valentine is a true and constant lover and Proteus is a fickle one. While not primarily based on it, The Two Gentlemen of Verona adapts several incidents from Brooke's poem, and in all these instances Valentine's role is based on Romeus'. Thus, when adapting the Mercutio—Juliet—Romeus constellation from Brooke, by changing Mercutio from an amorous rival into a friend—brother to Romeo and a "scoffer at love", Shakespeare also rearranged the relationships into Mercutio—Romeo—Juliet, making Romeo the focus and removing Mercutio as a threat to his courtship of Juliet.

By contrast, the Welsh attribute to him a son and daughter named Garanwyn and Celemon. Romance literature rarely deals with Kay's love life, with one exception being Girart d'Amiens' Escanor, which details his love for Andrivete of Northumbria, whom he must defend from her uncle's political machinations before they can marry. In the works of Chrétien, Kay assumes the characteristics with which he is most associated today: hot- headedness and fiery temper (retained from the Welsh literature), supplemented by his role as an incompetent braggart. Chrétien uses him as a scoffer and a troublemaker; a foil for heroic knights including Lancelot, Ywain, or Gawain.

1819 draft of Julian and Maddalo: A Conversation. Bodleian Library. "Julian and Maddalo" is prefaced by a prose description of the main characters. Maddalo is described as a rich Venetian nobleman whose "passions and…powers are incomparably greater than those of other men; and, instead of the latter having been employed in curbing the former, they have mutually lent each other strength"; while Julian is said to be > an Englishman of good family, passionately attached to those philosophical > notions which assert the power of man over his own mind, and the immense > improvements of which, by the extinction of certain moral superstitions, > human society may be yet susceptible…He is a complete infidel, and a scoffer > at all things reputed holy.
