Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Parody This little work was first suggested by the difficulty of finding any aid to the study of Parody in prosecuting my own researches. This has led me to throw together some of the results of my studies in the form of a short historical and critical sketch. I am well aware of its deficiencies; there is scarcely a point glanced at that might not be largely extended with illustrations. There is ample room for a separate volume on each period in English literature, and prose parody I have barely mentioned; but, addressing the general reader rather than the scholar, I have contented myself with a modest effort which I hope may be neither wearisome nor entirely valueless. Errors will creep in, and I shall welcome corrections and suggestions. The examples are selected to suit all tastes, and should the critic find old friends missing from my collection, I may yet hope to introduce him to new and pleasant acquaintances. Phoebe Cary´s A Psalm of Marriage and Keren Happuchy Cimahuella and Ode to a Jar of Picklesy from "Diversions of the Echo Club," are included in this collection by kind permission of Messrs.
