Political satire in the American Revolution, 1763-1783 / by Bruce Ingham Granger. Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1960. Main Library, PS436.G7 While literary and social historians have long recognized that personalities, issues and events of the Revolution were held up to ridicule at the time, this study is the first to explore this satirical record in detail. Most of the satires were written by Americans for Americans with the focus on the period 1762-1783. Each is prefaced by as much history as necessary to make their meaning clear and give continuity to the narrative.
