Summary: "The Merry-Thought: or the Glass-Window and Bog-House Miscellany" by Hurlothrumbo is a collection of satirical poetry likely compiled in the early 18th century. The work serves as a humorous anthology of verses, many inscribed in public spaces like taverns and latrines, reflecting the playful and irreverent spirit of the time. Through its content, the collection challenges the norms of polite literature by showcasing a range of bawdy, personal, and often witty expressions related to love, politics, and social commentary. The opening portion of the miscellany introduces a framework for this unconventional collection, offering insights into the nature of 18th-century poetry and society. It discusses the obscenity and folk art quality of the inscribed verses, suggesting that they often mirror contemporary attitudes toward class, gender, and human behavior. The prefaces and introductory notes hint at the various topics covered in the poems—ranging from romantic entanglements and drunken revelry to societal critiques—all captured in a lighthearted manner that might draw parallels to modern graffiti. This sets the stage for a lively exploration of everyday human folly, inviting readers to appreciate the blend of humor and social critique contained within its pages.
