Hailed in the mid-19th century as the most important American poet of the period, Fitz-Greene Halleck was dubbed the American Byron and had a large general readership despite his work's infusion of homosexual themes. This biography portrays him as a prophet of the literary and sexual revolution.

Excerpt from Byron and Byronism in America I must especially thank Prof. K. D. Bulbring of Bonn, Germany, whose lectures and seminar aroused a long dor mant interest in Byron, and Prof. W. P. Trent of Columbia University, whose understanding of America stimulated, after a prolonged sojourn in Europe, my interest in our own literary life. I am indebted to the Library of the Uni versity at Bonn for opportunity to gather, during the summer before last, materials for the introductory chapter; for the rest to the courtesies of the Lenox and Astor Libraries of New York, the Public Library and the Athenaeum of Bos ton, the Library of Harvard University, and that of Brown University, where Prof. W. C. Bronson Obtained for me the privileges of the Harris Collection of American Verse. To the unfailing courtesies of Mr. Erb of the Columbia Library, in common with many students of the University, I owe also not a little. I am indebted to my father for editorial suggestions and to The Nichols Press for courte sies in the printing. But circumstances, attending both the preparation and the proofreading, may have somewhat hindered me in turning all this kind assistance to best ao count, and I am alone responsible for any errors and other shortcomings that the reader may detect.

King George III inherited two legacies from the restoration of the monarchy in 1660: his crown and a tradition of regal satire. As the last British monarch who fully ruled as well as reigned and as the last king of America, George III was the target of constant satiric attacks even before he came to the throne in 1760 and for years after his death in 1820. An interdisciplinary and intercontinental study, this book examines the political satiric poetry and political graphic prints of Britain and Colonial America during the late Georgian period--a tumultuous era that witnessed the American and French revolutions, the Napoleonic wars, and the birth of the Romantic movement. Using George III as his focal point, Vincent Carretta draws on a wide range of verbal and visual sources to illuminate the development of satire from the work of Charles Churchill and William Hogarth to Lord Byron and George Cruikshank. Extending the argument from his earlier book, The Snarling Muse, which dealt with satire during the first half of the eighteenth century, Carretta demonstrates that the satiric line of descent from the early decades of the 1700s through the 1820s is much more direct than most scholars have recognized. Throughout the book, Carretta examines not only how the monarchy was reflected in satire but how satire in turn may have influenced the regal institution. In the 1790s, for example, British satirists discovered that their earlier attacks on the king for not being kingly enough had brought an unanticipated consequence: they had created the basis for the fictional commoner-king, Farmer George, which the king's supporters used with great rhetorical effectiveness against the threat of revolutionary French ideas. Enhanced by more than 160 illustrations, George III and the Satirists effectively demonstrates how a wide range of materials, verbal and visual, literary and nonliterary, can be marshaled in an interdisciplinary pursuit that crosses conventional fields and periods, repositioning artists and authors who are too often approached outside their original contexts.
