Synopsis
Excerpt from Rejected Addresses: Or the New Theatrum Poetarum
IN the present publishing era, when books are like the multitudinous waves of the advancing sea, some of which make no impression whatever upon the sand, while the superficial traces left by others are destined to be perpetually obliterated by their successors, almost as soon as they are found, the authors of the Rejected Addresses may well feel flattered, after a lapse Of twenty years, and the sale of seventeen large editions, in receiving an application to write a Preface to a new and more handsome impression. In diminution, however, of any overweening vanity which they might be.

Rejected Addresses: Or the New Theatrum Poetarum (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking collection of various political and social parodies written by two brothers in the early 19th century. Initially intending to submit their work for a competition seeking a suitable address to be spoken at the opening of the Drury Lane Theatre, the authors missed the deadline and took to publishing the work themselves. The result is a series of sharp, satirical observations on British society at the time and a critique of the theatrical world of the Regency period, all written with a playful, sharply pointed wit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330794340_0
