Beskrivelse
The Political House That Jack Built is a satirical poem written by William Hone in 1819. The poem uses the metaphor of a house being built to criticize the corrupt political system in England during the early 19th century. Each stanza of the poem describes a different aspect of the political system, such as the monarchy, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, and how they contribute to the overall corruption and oppression of the people. The poem is written in a humorous and playful style, but its message is serious and critical. The Political House That Jack Built was widely popular at the time of its publication and is considered a classic example of political satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
