Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The True-Born Englishman is a satirical poem published in 1701 by Daniel Defoe in defense of the then King of England William, born in Holland, against the xenophobic attacks of his political enemies and ridiculing the notion of English racial purity. It quickly became popular. According to a preface that Defoe supplied to a 1703 edition, the poem's stated purpose is not English as such, but English cultural xenophobia against the cultural unrest caused by the new immigrants. Defoe's argument was that the English nation as it existed in its day was the product of various incoming European ethnic groups, from the ancient British to the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans and beyond. Therefore, there was no point in abusing newcomers, as English law and customs would guarantee their inevitable assimilationI only infer that an English man, of all men, should not despise foreigners as such, and I believe that the inference is fair, since what they are for the day, we went yesterday, and tomorrow they will be like us. If foreigners misbehave at their various stations and jobs, I have nothing to do with it; The Laws are open to punish them equally with the Natives, and let them have no Favor.

Book Description
Daniel Defoe had an eventful and adventurous life as a merchant, politician, spy and literary hack. He is one of the eighteenth century's most lively, innovative and important authors, famous not only for his novels, including Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, and Roxana, but for his extensive work in journalism, political polemic and conduct guides, and for his pioneering 'Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain'. This volume surveys the wide range of Defoe's fiction and non-fiction, and assesses his importance as writer and thinker. Leading scholars discuss key issues in Defoe's novels, and show how the man who was once pilloried for his writings emerges now as a key figure in the literature and culture of the early eighteenth century.

Book Description
The Literature of Satire is an accessible but sophisticated and wide-ranging study of satire from the classics to the present in plays, novels and the press as well as in verse. In it Charles Knight analyses the rhetorical problems created by satire's complex relations to its community, and examines how it exploits the genres it borrows. He argues that satire derives from an awareness of the differences between appearance, ideas and discourse. Knight provides illuminating readings of such satirists familiar and unfamiliar as Horace, Lucian, Jonson, Molière, Swift, Pope, Byron, Flaubert, Ostrovsky, Kundera, and Rushdie. This broad-ranging examination sheds light on the nature and functions of satire as a mode of writing, as well as on theoretical approaches to it. It will be of interest to scholars interested in literary theory as well as those specifically interested in satire.
