Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin (The Percy Reprints, No. 8), edited by L. Rice-Oxley, is a vital collection showcasing the satirical verse from the influential late 18th-century British weekly, The Anti-Jacobin. Published as part of The Percy Reprints series, this volume compiles the sharp, politically charged poetry that lampooned revolutionary ideals emanating from France and their sympathizers in Britain. The featured poems, often witty and cutting, served as a propaganda tool, reflecting the conservative anxieties of the era regarding radicalism and social upheaval. Rice-Oxley's editorial work contextualizes these works, providing insight into the historical and political climate in which they were created. The collection offers a unique window into the use of verse as a weapon in ideological battles, highlighting a significant, often overlooked, aspect of British literary and political history.
