Ed. by Kevin L. Cope.

978-0-404-64418-5

This issue's special section looks at metaphor in the poetry and criticism of the Restoration and early 18th century. Four essays explore such aspects as satiric metaphor in Samuel Butler's Hudibras; and Swift's style, the nakedness of the Houyhnhnms, and the deceits of rhetoric. Eight essays consider general themes related to literature during the period, among them Paradise Lost as an incomplete argument, William Bechford at the Strawberry Hill sale, the Americas in The Female American, and the sociopolitical significance of Rousseau's musical caricatures. Reviews of 15 recently published books are also included. Only names are indexed. (Annotation ©2011 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
