Featuring research on a wide range of resource materials (including political literature, police reports, drama, ballads, contemporary fiction, poetry and caricatures) the volume provides an introduction to the history and sociology of dissent. Each chapter explores instances of subversion and scurrility in a particular historical context. Emphasis is placed on the political culture of early modern Britain where new relationships between the state and society were pioneered. From this base further chapters proceed to discuss manifestations of these relationships in other societies and during other periods. Subversion and Scurrility reveals that while the ways in which opposition is expressed are infinitely variable, the impulse to protest is a constant. 606 $aSatire, English$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aPolitical satire, English$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aPopular culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aPopular culture$zEurope$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aSatire$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aInvective in literature$vCongresses 606 $aPolitics and literature$vCongresses 606 $aPolitics in literature$vCongresses 606 $aInvective$vCongresses 615 0$aSatire, English$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPolitical satire, English$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 615 0$aSatire$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aInvective in literature 615 0$aPolitics and literature 615 0$aPolitics in literature 615 0$aInvective 676 $a302.2094 701 $aCavanagh$b dermot$f1963-$0866909 701 $aKirk$b Tim$f1958-$0848488 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154998503321 996 $aSubversion and scurrility$91935075 997 $aUNINA
