The first part of the book presents Wegstaff's Commentary on the History of Tom Bembinosis (1711), which is widely known for its sharp satirical and ironic characterization and criticism of the Victorian society of the time. The second part of the book is Kenning's work "Image of the Heart" (1787), which continues the tradition of sharp satire, parodying traditional canons and clichés of literary ballads in his work. This book impresses with its depth of analysis and subtle combination of humor and criticism, making it an excellent choice for lovers of satirical literature.
