Book Description
Excerpt from Political Satire in English Poetry The following pages were written for the Members' English Essay Prize of 1908. Besides separate editions of the respective poets, I have used the following collections: T. Wright's Political Songs of England from the reign of John to that of Edward II, Political Poems and Songs relating to English History, composed during the period from the accession of Edward III to that of Richard III, and Political Ballads published in England during the Commonwealth; Chalmers' English Poets; Percy's Reliques; Poems on Affairs of State and State-Poems; The Loyal Garland; W. W. Wilkins' Political Ballads of the 17th and 18th centuries annotated; and The New Whig and New Tory Guides. Among the critical works consulted I owe a special debt to Prof. Courthope's History of English Poetry. I also wish to record my thanks to Dr J. R. Tanner for his criticisms and suggestions.

Nothing to Admire
Author: Christopher YuPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190288655
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Nothing to Admire argues for the persistence of a central tradition of poetic satire in English that extends from Restoration England to present-day America. This tradition is rooted in John Dryden's and Alexander Pope's uses of Augustan metaphor to criticize the abuse of social and political power and to promote an antithetical ideal of satiric authority based on freedom of mind. Because of their commitment to neoclassical conceptions of political virtue, the British Augustans developed a meritocratic cultural ideal grounded in poetic judgment and opposed to the political institutions and practices of their superiors in birth, wealth, and might. Their Augustanism thus gives a political meaning to the Horatian principle of nil admirari. This book calls the resulting outlook cultural liberalism in order to distinguish it from the classical liberal insistence on private property as the basis of political liberty, a conviction that arises within the same general period and often stands in adversarial relation to the Augustan mentality. Dryden and Pope's language of political satire supplies the foundation for the later and more radical liberalisms of Lord Byron, W.H. Auden, and James Merrill, each of whom looks back to the Augustan model for the poetic devices he will use to protest the increasingly conformist culture of mass society. Responding to the banality of this society, the later poets reinvigorate their predecessors' neo-Horatian attitude of skeptical worldliness through iconoclastic comic assaults on the imperial, fascist, heterosexist, and otherwise illiberal impulses of the cultural regimes prevailing during their lifetimes.
