Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Fooliam, A Satire: With Apologies To Pope And High Priests Of Literature is a book written by Edwin Alfred Watrous and published in 1916. The book is a satirical take on the literary world and its high priests, and is written in the style of Alexander Pope's famous poem, The Dunciad. The main character, Fooliam, is a foolish and ignorant man who becomes a literary critic and tries to impose his views on the world of literature. The book is a commentary on the state of literature at the time, and is a scathing critique of those who take themselves too seriously in the literary world. The book is divided into four parts, each with its own satirical target, including poets, critics, publishers, and readers. The book is a humorous and entertaining read, and provides a unique perspective on the world of literature in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
