Pamphlets for the Years, 1779-1780
Collection: The American Revolution from a British Perspective, 1763–1783 Volumes Pamphlets for the Years, 1779-1780
Commencing with a series of addresses to the Houses of Parliament, 1779 sees the advent of pamphlets using the term ?war? rather than ?rebellion? or ?crisis?. With the change in terminology, is an accompanying change in emphasis, as the writings upon reconciliation dwindle into obsolescence. Meanwhile, satire emerges as a propaganda weapon with ?The Britoniad, A Poem?, ?Patriotic Perfidy, A Satire?, ?Paul Jones: Or The Fife Coast Garland. A Heroi-Comical Poem? and ?The Bostonian Prophet. An Heroi-Comico- Serious-Parodical-Pindaric Ode? amongst the partisan poetry. More serious items include ?The Detail and Conduct of The American War, Under Generals Gage, Howe, Burgoyne...? amongst other works.
