Sobre este artículo
New York: James Miller. Good+ with no dust jacket. 1879. Hardcover. Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket/slip, toned, fraying to spine head and tail, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; Anonymous work attributed to Dr William Leech. "This is a very remarkable book, it consists of about 350 pages in all, of which at least two thirds are occupied by Notes, critical, satirical, and biographical, dealing with the principal writers of the day, in a most unmerciful manner. Even The Saturday Review, which itself has a reputation for sharp speaking, remarked (June 28, 1879) : "The Obliviad is a laborious imitation of the Dunciad, somewhat more universally insolent in its treatment of contemporary authors than any other satire in prose or verse that we remember."" - Walter Hamilton; Parodies of the works of English & American authors; p 183. Delightful, satirical trolling of Victorian-era authors. ; Ex-Library; 319 pages .
