Excerpt from Political Satire in English Poetry The following pages were written for the Members' English Essay Prize of 1908. Besides separate editions of the respective poets, I have used the following collections: T. Wright's Political Songs of England from the reign of John to that of Edward II, Political Poems and Songs relating to English History, composed during the period from the accession of Edward III to that of Richard III, and Political Ballads published in England during the Commonwealth; Chalmers' English Poets; Percy's Reliques; Poems on Affairs of State and State-Poems; The Loyal Garland; W. W. Wilkins' Political Ballads of the 17th and 18th centuries annotated; and The New Whig and New Tory Guides. Among the critical works consulted I owe a special debt to Prof. Courthope's History of English Poetry. I also wish to record my thanks to Dr J. R. Tanner for his criticisms and suggestions.

Nothing to Admire argues for the persistence of a central tradition of poetic satire in English that extends from Restoration England to present-day America. This tradition is rooted in John Dryden's and Alexander Pope's uses of Augustan metaphor to criticize the abuse of social and political power and to promote an antithetical ideal of satiric authority based on freedom of mind. Because of their commitment to neoclassical conceptions of political virtue, the British Augustans developed a meritocratic cultural ideal grounded in poetic judgment and opposed to the political institutions and practices of their superiors in birth, wealth, and might. Their Augustanism thus gives a political meaning to the Horatian principle of nil admirari. This book calls the resulting outlook cultural liberalism in order to distinguish it from the classical liberal insistence on private property as the basis of political liberty, a conviction that arises within the same general period and often stands in adversarial relation to the Augustan mentality. Dryden and Pope's language of political satire supplies the foundation for the later and more radical liberalisms of Lord Byron, W.H. Auden, and James Merrill, each of whom looks back to the Augustan model for the poetic devices he will use to protest the increasingly conformist culture of mass society. Responding to the banality of this society, the later poets reinvigorate their predecessors' neo-Horatian attitude of skeptical worldliness through iconoclastic comic assaults on the imperial, fascist, heterosexist, and otherwise illiberal impulses of the cultural regimes prevailing during their lifetimes.

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.

Penniless Politics grapples with the problems of survival and protest in the blighted urban world of modern, multicultural America. The focus of this late 20th century 're-take' of The Decameron is the vital, violent city of New York, where Douglas Oliver lived on the Lower East Side, imagining the non-voting minorities coming together through the creation of a new kind of political party called Spirit. When Penniless Politics first appeared 'in a curious samizdat' edition, Howard Brenton hailed Oliver's 'great poem' in The Guardian as 'epoch-making...startlingly original'. 'As great writing will, Penniless Politics identifies a new era's themes that we all sense to be there, just beyond language, waiting for their first expression. The poem's theme is desire: a ferocious, overwhelming desire for the human spirit to change...Could it be that the most unlikely thing, a poem, can show the way out of the post-communist, post-modernist, "ideas are dead" miasma that is poisoning us? I suggest the reader hold on and take the rollercoaster ride through Oliver's amazing plot and the dizzying heights and water splashes of his poetic invention. It's worth it because the poem, with its ambitious-as-Milton first line - All politics the same crux: to define humankind richly - to its blistering final stanzas, could well be our Paradise Lost.' - from foreword by Howard Brenton
