Description - Parodies of the Romantic Age by Graeme Stones
In this reset collection, Stones and Strachan bring together a wealth of material ranging from verse parodies originally published in pamphlet form, circulated in manuscript, or published in periodicals, to longer works such as P.G. Patmore's prose parodies of the works of Byron, Lamb, and Hazlitt. Much of this material has long been neglected. The edition also includes William Frederick Deacon's Warreniana, a delightful sequence of parodies of major Romantic writers, as yet virtually unknown. Romanticism's annus mirabilis of 1798 saw the publication of Lyrical Ballads by Wordsworth and Coleridge. In the same year The Anti-Jacobin's critique of Romantic sentiments fully emerged. Founded by George Canning and friends, with the approval of William Pitt, the periodical had immediate political concerns, but the effect of its poetry goes far beyond these. The Anti- Jacobin's parodies were endlessly inventive, witty, and partisan. Just as the Lyrical Ballads shaped early Romantic writing, so The Anti-Jacobin influenced a generation of parodic counterings. These embody and celebrate creativity, while reflecting on writing strategies, covert motivations, dogmas, delusions and deceit.
They have much to say about the workings of the imagination and the nature of Romanticism itself.
