Summary: "The Rolliad, in Two Parts" by Tickell, Ellis, Laurence, and Richardson is a satirical poetic work written in the late 18th century. It serves as both a commentary on political events and a collection of "probationary odes" related to the election of a laureate, showcasing the contest of politics and poetry during the period. This work reflects the social and political landscape of its time, utilizing humor and parody to engage with serious subjects and characters. The opening of this extensive piece introduces its format and thematic essence, indicating a blend of comedic social critique and political commentary. It begins with a dedication to an influential figure, Sir Lloyd Kenyon, and sets the stage for the exploration of political figures and events, presented through poetic narrative. The introduction hints at the interplay of humor and poetry, suggesting that future pages will dive deeper into the personalities involved in government and the nature of public affairs during the time. The early references to Rollo, a historical character, and numerous political figures establish a foundation for both satire and homage, signaling the work's ambition and elaborate narrative style.
