| Summary | "Parodies of the Works of English & American Authors, Vol. II" by Walter Hamilton is a collection of literary parodies published in the late 19th century. This volume contains humorous imitations of renowned authors including William Shakespeare, John Milton, Edgar Allan Poe, and many more, showcasing the absurdities and quirks of their original writings. It serves as both an anthology of light-hearted satire and a critical perspective on the works it parodies. The opening of this collection includes a preface by Walter Hamilton, where he explains the intention and evolution of the project. Originally designed to feature only the best parodies from select authors, the demand has led to a more comprehensive anthology. He reflects on how parody serves as a tool for criticism rather than mere ridicule, emphasizing the role of the public in shaping these interpretations. The preface also acknowledges contributions from various individuals who supported the collection and mentions the breadth of authors and parodies that will be included, highlighting both classic and contemporary works.
