Summary: "Parodies of the works of English & American authors, vol. III" by Walter Hamilton is a collection of literary parodies written in the late 19th century. This volume features a variety of parody works that satirize prominent authors such as Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, and Robert Burns, showcasing the humorous side of their original writings. The overarching theme examines the art and function of parody, portraying it as a form of critique rather than mere mockery. The opening of this collection introduces the concept of parody, emphasizing that it serves as a critical exposition of absurdities found within literary works. It argues against the misconception that parody is inherently malicious, highlighting historical examples from ancient literature that used parody as a light-hearted reflection on existing texts. Furthermore, the text lays out a broad scope of materials and authors that will be engagingly explored in the subsequent sections, setting the stage for a humorous yet insightful journey through the parodied works.
