'The person using irony does so since he or she feels alienated from mainstream traditions and values. The ironist is able to see that these traditions and values are not firmly grounded and no longer have credibility.' This is how ironist described, which seems very much like the concept of post-modernism. So what's the difference? Any relevant topics, further reading and academic insights are appreciated, thanks

My two cents on the issue, is that irony is about a literary sequence, and post-modernism is very much an umbrella concept

perhaps it could be acknowledging the absurdity of existence (post-modern irony) or devoting oneself to be a knight of faith...
then again, Soren liked to give his reader a choice...
