 note = {application/pdf, This paper concludes the project of exploring how linguistic disorder, a babel, and its agents, dunces, are represented by late seventeenth-century English satirical poems collected in the section “Literary Affairs” of the Poems on Affairs of State, Volume 1.
The poems this paper discusses are these: John Dryden, Mac Flecknoe（ 1676 ─ 77）;George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, A Familiar Epistle to Mr. Julian, Secretary to the Muses（ 1677）; John Sheffeild, Earl of Mulgrave and John Dryden, An Essay upon Satire（ 1679）. Concerning the last poem, the editor of this volume considers that Dryden’s authorship is nominal.
I do not fully discuss Mac Fleckno because this famous poem has enjoyed great deal of criticism; I only point to some of its features that I think form the satirical tradition Pope’s Dunciad exploits.
The main target of A Familiar Epistle is Sir Carr Scroope, a reliable supplier of bad poems for Robert Julian dealing in such poems. In attacking Scroope, the poet follows some of the established ways of attack on him. The poem has some moments where it is above vulgar slander and abuse.
The editor comments that An Essay upon Satire is indifferent and structureless.As to the overall quality of the poem I agree with him, but I do not think the poem is structureless. It is roughly divided into three parts: the first part is mainly an argument about satire and sets down some rules for writing good satire; targeting politicians and courtiers, the second part tries to practice satire based on the argument of the first part; the third part supplements the argument. The way I employ to assess the poem is to see if the poet successfully writes satire according to the rules he sets down in the first part, and I find he occasionally fails to meet the critical standards of his own setting.},
