Andrew McRae examines the relation between literature and politics
at a pivotal moment in English history. He argues that the most
influential and incisive political satire in this period may be
found in manuscript libels, scurrilous pamphlets, and a range of
other material written and circulated under the threat of
censorship. These are the unauthorized texts of early Stuart
England. From his analysis of these texts, McRae argues that
satire, as the pre-eminent literary mode of discrimination and
stigmatization, helped people make sense of the confusing political
conditions of the early Stuart era. It did so partly through
personal attacks, and partly also through sophisticated
interventions into ongoing political and ideological debates. In
such forms, satire provided resources through which contemporary
writers could define new models of political identity and construct
new discourses of dissent. This book will be of interest to
political and literary historians alike.
