Part of the Yale scholarship online series
See all formats and editions

This text explores how the works of William Shakespeare, John Milton, Jonathan Swift, and others were taken up by caricaturists as a means of helping the 18th century British public make sense of political issues, outrages, and personalities.

The first in-depth exploration of the relationship between literature and visual satire in this period, the work explores how great texts, seen through the lens of visual parody, shape how we understand the political world.

It offers a fascinating, novel approach to literary history.
