Book Title: English Clandestine Satire, 1660-1702 Book Author: Harold Love (Author) Hardcover: 442 pages Publisher: Oxford University Press (October 7, 2004) Language: English ISBN-10: 019925561X ISBN-13: 978-0199255610 Book Description Publication Date: October 7, 2004 In the first comprehensive survey of this vast field, Harold Love considers the relationship of the lampoon to gossip, how one might construct a poetics of the genre, and how clandestine satire reached and was received by its readers. Constructing three primary categories of "court," "Town" and "state" lampooning, Love argues that far from being the product of isolated disaffection, most satire was the work of a circle of recognized poets, frequently operating in collaboration. An extensive first-line index to the principal manuscript sources for clandestine satire makes this book an open sesame to further exploration of its fascinating field.
