Book Description
"Satires of Circumstance: Lyrics & Reveries with Miscellaneous Pieces" by Thomas Hardy is a poetic collection that unveils the Victorian novelist's lyrical prowess and his contemplative exploration of the human condition. Published in the early 20th century, this anthology showcases Hardy's versatility as a writer, transitioning from prose fiction to the realms of verse with poetic finesse. At the heart of this collection are the "Satires of Circumstance," a series of poems that delve into the complexities of life, love, and the inexorable influence of external forces. Hardy's lyricism is likely marked by a nuanced understanding of the inherent ironies and contradictions that shape human existence. The poems may embody a satirical lens, offering readers a reflective commentary on the quirks of fate and the interplay of societal norms. Intertwined with the satirical elements are Hardy's "Lyrics & Reveries," which likely delve into the realm of personal reflections and introspections. These pieces may showcase the poet's keen observations of nature, his contemplation of love's joys and sorrows, and his musings on the transient nature of time.

Book Description
Eighteenth century Britain thought of itself as a polite, sentimental, enlightened place, but often its literature belied this self-image. This was an age of satire, and the century's novels, poems, plays, and prints resound with mockery and laughter, with cruelty and wit. The street-level invective of Grub Street pamphleteers is full of satire, and the same accents of raillery echo through the high scepticism of the period's philosophers and poets, many of whom were part-time pamphleteers themselves. The novel, a genre that emerged during the eighteenth century, was from the beginning shot through with satirical colours borrowed from popular romances and scandal sheets. This Handbook is a guide to the different kinds of satire written in English during the 'long' eighteenth century. It focuses on texts that appeared between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660 and the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. Outlier chapters extend the story back to first decade of the seventeenth century, and forward to the second decade of the nineteenth. The scope of the volume is not confined by genre, however. So prevalent was the satirical mode in writing of the age that this book serves as a broad and characteristic survey of its literature. The Oxford Handbook of Eighteenth-Century Satire reflects developments in historical criticism of eighteenth-century writing over the last two decades, and provides a forum in which the widening diversity of literary, intellectual, and socio-historical approaches to the period's texts can come together.

Book Description
First published in 1978 English Verse Satire aims to provide a critical study of the major English verse satirists as well as an account of the historical development of verse satire. Critical accounts are offered of important writers including Donne, Vaughan, Butler, Rochester, Dryden, Oldham, Swift, Pope, Young, Dr. Johnson and Churchill. An account of verse satire commences historically with the Roman satirists and Dr Selden has provided a substantial treatment of Horace and Juvenal as the basis for a study of the evolution of verse satire from the Elizabethan period to the end of the Augustan period. A special feature of the book is the emphasis on tradition, continuity, and innovation. This book is an interesting read for scholars of English literature.
