Publisher's Synopsis
The Bulls and the Jonathans is a collection of three satirical works by American author James Kirke Paulding. The first work, John Bull and Brother Jonathan, is a humorous portrayal of the relationship between England and America during the early 19th century. The second work, John Bull in America, is a critique of American society and culture, as seen through the eyes of a British visitor. The final work, Brother Jonathan in England, is a response to John Bull in America, and offers a satirical view of British society and culture. Throughout the collection, Paulding uses wit and humor to comment on the political and social issues of his time, and to explore the complex relationship between England and America. The Bulls and the Jonathans is a fascinating and entertaining read for anyone interested in American literature, satire, or the history of Anglo-American relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
