"Irony was a counterweight against the confidence with which the British believed in their own civilization and wanted it to be acknowledged as superior by the rest of the world. The triumphant tone with which the Germans speak of 'culture', which only they possess, while the rest must make do with 'civilization', needs an equally, if not stronger, ironic distance." (Wolf Lepenies, The Seduction of Culture in German History, 2006)
