Nonsense verse in England is generally thought to have its origins
in Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. Noel Malcolm's work discusses the
extent of the genre a full two hundred and fifty years earlier,
with the work of such now nearly forgotten nonsense poets as Sir
John Hoskyns and John Taylor. It presents an anthology of their
work, much of it published here for the first time since the 17th
century, and in a long introduction discusses the origins and
development of the genre in England, and the history of medieval
and Renaissance nonsense poetry in Europe.
