Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, drawing on a repertoire of satirical verse from the late 19th century, brings the reader insights into the workings of Gotham (New York City), exposing the hypocrisy and deceit of its politicians and elites. Set against a backdrop of rapid industrial growth and economic inequality, the author's words paint a vivid picture of corruption at the highest levels of society. The subjects are figures in the realms of politics, literature, theatre and popular culture. These include President Grover Cleveland, Senator Matthew Quay, Booker T. Washington and many others. Alongside these societal critiques, the book includes critiques of literary figures such as E. A. Poe, Joaquin Miller, James Whitcomb Riley, and Opie Read. Through this satirical verse, the author exposes the rampant self-interest and moral decay that he saw in his society. He forces the reader to question the true nature of power and the motivations of those who wield it. This book is a valuable record of the social and political landscape of the United States in the late 19th century.
