Carolyn Wells gathers satirical verse from many centuries into one volume, from chorus of women and literary bores to ballades of old-time ladies and a carman’s account of a lawsuit. Alongside older English satire come American voices including Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, John Hay, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Stephen Crane.
