Abstract

This review article assesses three new books on the “Golden Age” of caricature in Britain and the United States: Tim Clayton’s James Gillray: A Revolution in Satire (2022), Amanda Lahikainen’s Money and Materiality in the Golden Age of Graphic Satire (2022), and Alison M. Stagg’s Prints of a New Kind: Political Caricature in the United States, 1789-1828 (2023). The article considers how satirical cartoons simultaneously educated and entertained the public about important issues, such as political corruption, nation building, and the perils of a credit economy based on paper money.

期刊介绍： Recent Americanist scholarship has generated some of the most forceful responses to questions about literary history and theory. Yet too many of the most provocative essays have been scattered among a wide variety of narrowly focused publications. Covering the study of US literature from its origins through the present, American Literary History provides a much-needed forum for the various, often competing voices of contemporary literary inquiry. Along with an annual special issue, the journal features essay-reviews, commentaries, and critical exchanges. It welcomes articles on historical and theoretical problems as well as writers and works. Inter-disciplinary studies from related fields are also invited.
