Parker, Blanford (College of Staten Island)
This book offers an important re-evaluation of the transition from Baroque to Augustan in English literature. Analysing works by Butler, Pope, Thomson, Johnson, and many others, Blanford Parker's account explains the origins of Augustan satire, its momentous departure from earlier models, and the subsequent creation of a new poetry of nature and everyday life.
