A Century Of Parody And Imitation (1913) is a book written by Walter Jerrold that explores the history of parody and imitation in literature. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the history of parody from the 18th century up until the early 20th century, with a focus on the works of authors such as Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, and Lewis Carroll. The second part of the book focuses on imitation, specifically the practice of imitating the styles and techniques of other writers. Jerrold discusses the works of authors such as Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and Robert Louis Stevenson, among others. Throughout the book, Jerrold offers his own commentary on the works he discusses, providing insight into the literary techniques and cultural influences that shaped them. The book is a fascinating exploration of the ways in which writers have borrowed from and parodied one another throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
