A Parody Outline of History is a satirical take on the history of the world, written by American humorist Donald Ogden Stewart. The book is structured as a parody of a history textbook, with chapters covering different eras and regions of the world. Stewart's writing is witty and irreverent, poking fun at historical figures and events with a sharp sense of humor. He takes aim at everything from the Crusades to the Industrial Revolution, and even includes a chapter on prehistoric times that features cavemen and dinosaurs.Throughout the book, Stewart uses a variety of comedic techniques, including wordplay, absurdity, and exaggeration. He also includes humorous illustrations and diagrams to add to the comedic effect.Overall, A Parody Outline of History is a hilarious and entertaining read for anyone who enjoys satire and humor. It offers a unique and lighthearted take on the history of the world, and is sure to leave readers laughing and entertained.Were there not some amid all that fashionable throng in whom ideals of purity and true womanhood lived-- some who cared enough for the sacredness of real love to cry upon this hollow mockery that was being used to ensnare the simple, honest soldier? There was only one, and she was at that moment entering the drawing room for the purpose of being presented to the general. Need I name her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
