Summary "More Peers: Verses by Hilaire Belloc" is a collection of humorous poetry written in the early 20th century. The book features a series of light-hearted verses that portray various fictional nobility and their comical mishaps, all while reflecting Belloc's sharp wit and social commentary. Through this whimsical approach, the poems offer a critique of the aristocracy and their eccentricities. In "More Peers," Belloc introduces a variety of noble characters, each with their own amusing story. From Lord Roehampton, who suffers from a vocal cord injury during a political endeavor, to Lord Chase, who becomes embroiled in a libel case, the poems blend humor with subtle critique of social norms. Other characters include the hapless Lord Epsom, who has a misadventure with a horse, and Lord Lucky, whose sudden rise to wealth results from an accidental shooting. Each verse encapsulates the idiosyncrasies and follies of nobility, culminating in a delightful tapestry that both entertains and provokes thought about the nature of privilege in society.
