Summary: "Parodies of the Works of English & American Authors, Vol. IV" by Walter Hamilton is a collection of literary parodies written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses specifically on parodies of popular ballads, songs, and odes, drawing from a wide range of authors including T. Haynes Bayly, W. S. Gilbert, and Lord Tennyson. The book aims to celebrate the humor and wit found in imitating and exaggerating the works of established poets and songwriters, providing an entertaining take on their original compositions. The opening portion introduces the concept of parody through a rich array of examples, showcasing the humorous twists applied to well-loved songs and poems. It highlights both contemporary and classic authors, emphasizing the lighthearted nature of parody as a form of entertainment and a subtle compliment to the original works. From playful adaptations of familiar favorites to clever commentary on artistic styles, this volume sets the stage for a delightful exploration of literary wit and creativity through parody.
