Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Political Satire in English Poetry
Members' English Essay Prize of 1908. Besides separate editions of the respective poets, I have used the following collections T. Wright's Polit ical 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 Religues; Poems on A fairs 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.
