The first in-depth exploration of the relationship between literature and visual satire in this period, David Taylor’s book explores how great texts, seen through the lens of visual parody, shape how we understand the political world. It offers a fascinating, novel approach to literary history.David Francis Taylor is associate professor of eighteenth-century literature at the University of Warwick and the award-winning author of Theatres of Opposition: Empire, Revolution, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan.Table des matièresPrefacePart One: Prints, Parody, and the Political Public1  The Literariness of Graphic Satire2  Looking, Literacy, and the Printshop WindowPart Two: Plotting Politics3  The Tempest; or, The Disenchanted Island4  Macbeth as Political Comedy5  Paradise Lost, from the Sublime to the Ridiculous6  Gulliver Goes to War7  Harlequin Napoleon; or, What Literature Isn’tAppendix: Dramatis PersonaeNotesAcknowledgementsIndexPlus d’informations sur le site de l’éditeur.
