Radical Satire and Print Culture 1790-1822: Oxford English Monographs

Autor Marcus Wood
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iul 1994
Radical Satire and Print Culture 1790-1822 focuses on the work produced collaboratively between 1816 and 1822 by the poet and radical journalist William Hone and the brilliant young graphic satirist George Cruikshank.Dr Wood provides a much needed analytical framework for Regency radical satire uncovering a set of new sources and previously unknown cultural contexts for Hone and Cruikshank's work, which is shown to combine modernity and tradition in thrilling ways. Hone fused the literary and political inheritance of eighteenth-century satire with contemporary developments in advertising , popular publishing and mass marketing; Cruikshank combined the sophisticated conventions of the political print with the most up-to-date methods of advertizing, politics and propaganda.Entertaining and original, this is an important contribution to the study of radical satire, which sheds new light on the relations between popular political authors and graphic artists and the major Romantic writers of the period.

Recenzii

Marcus Wood's book is an important addition to recent work on popular radicalism in the romantic period...uncovering of a "satirical inheritance" is central to his iportant argument about the historical self-conciousness of radical culture...There is no doubting his claim to have stressed the daring and even joyous nature of much radical propaganda and to have examined that work in its own terms and not as a poor cousin to the canon. That job has been carried out with an admirable combination of enthusiasm and precision.
`a marvellously rich study, concentrating on the work of William Hone and George Cruikshank ... Marcus Wood's excellent book suggests further questions abou the consumption of revolutionary taste.'Times Literary Supplement
richly illustrated study
The background materials alone that Radical Satire and Print Culture provides is worth the price of admission to the carnival world of radical satire that this book persuasively reconstructs...The rich anecdotal scene Wood constructs gains momentum into a thoroughly persuasive argument, or series of arguments,that detail the way in which the radical press waged a linguistic war against the government.
Scholars of the more flexibly defined eighteenth century tend to work accross disciplines, looking at continuities and seeking to reconstruct cultural history...Wood's Radical Satire is a significant contribution to that reconstruction...radical Satire is so deeply grounded in archival research and so well informed by critical intelligence that it is one of the most important studies of verbal and visual satires during the period 1700-1822. It is also a very significant historical study of the genre of parody during the long eighteenth century.
valuable and study ... Wood's achievement in presenting the work of Spence and Hone within the framework of the traditions they inherited is undeniable, and his work will be essential for any future understanding of the cultural world in which Romanticism existed.
