Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of satirical essays exploring the follies and absurdities of human behavior in early 18th century England. Written to amuse, many of the essays also serve as social commentary on significant issues of the time, including sharp criticism of government actions and policies, portrayals of ineffective methods of educating young men, and the treatment of women by men. The author skewers these topics and others, not as an outsider, but as part of the world he is describing. By adopting this stance, the author is able to take aim at the foibles of his fellow citizens from a position of intimacy and shared experience, resulting in a series of lively, witty, and often laugh-out-loud funny pieces.
