INDEX OF AUTHORS
PARODIED OR IMITATED
It is not always possible to say that the parodist had
one particular poem in mind. Bayard Taylor's Ballad of
Hiram Hover, for example, echoes The Maids ofAttitash
as well as The Bridal of Pennacook; and in Lovers, and a
Reflection Calverley mingles the styles of Jean Ingelow
and William Morris. Sometimes the poem parodied is itself
a parody; thus Canning's Elderly Gentleman, of
which J. A. Morgan's Malum Opus is a partial translation,
is a parody of Nicholas Rowe. At other times, the
comic writer borrows and distorts a theme without imitating
the manner of the original. The Story of Prince
Agib certainly owes something to the Persian Eclogues,
but scarcely enough to make one call it a parody. The
references given below are meant to help the reader to
.find his way about the book: they are not intended to be
dogmatic assertions.
