Description

Rejected Addresses by Horace and James Smith was the first collection of parodies in verse to become a popular success in England. It consisted of a series of dedicatory odes on the reopening of the Drury Lane Theatre in the manner of such contemporary poets as Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Unique among the Victorians is Lewis Carroll, whose parodies preserve verses that might otherwise not have survived.
