Synopsis
Some of the funniest and most bizarre news stories printed between 1750 and 1830 Erotic misdemeanors in an Irish bean-field, the recipe for a frog barometer fresh from the French court, a parrot convicted of heresy and burnt at the stake in Spain, and a Dutch stage effect for ejecting a wig by means of a spring during Hamlet’s ghost scene are just some of the masterpieces of understated journalism collected by Francis Cox and contained in his Fragmenta. At 97 volumes, Cox’s scrapbook is one of the largest collections of journalistic ephemera ever. For 60 years during the late 18th and early 19th centuries he accumulated articles on everything from duels to playhouses, and foreign travel to warfare. Simon Murphy has selected the most amusing and bizarre to create an historical miscellany which will intrigue and delight.
