“Scarronides, Or Virgil Travestie†is Charles Cotton's witty and irreverent take on Virgil's epic, the Aeneid. This mock poem, presented in English burlesque, specifically targets the first and fourth books, transforming the solemn grandeur of the original into a humorous and entertaining parody.
Cottonâ€(TM)s work is a significant example of 17th-century English burlesque poetry, showcasing the era's penchant for satire and its playful engagement with classical literature. This edition offers readers a chance to experience a unique interpretation of Virgil, blending high and low culture in a manner that is both amusing and thought-provoking. It remains a valuable text for students and enthusiasts of poetry, satire, and classical reception.
