Satire and Sentiment 1660-1830: Stress Points in the English Augustan Tradition
( This elegantly written book examines the evolution of s...)
This elegantly written book examines the evolution of satirical writing in the long eighteenth century—from Swift and Pope to Byron, Shelley, and Austen—and the social and cultural changes that conditioned it. “Rawson is himself an Augustan among critics, expressing worlds of scholarship with a pungent and delightful humanism.”—Donald Lyons, New Criterion “A luxuriant hybrid of keen literary criticism and well-documented cultural history. . . . This ranging synthesis of a reeling world is mind-expanding for critics and historians, specialists and generalists.”—Kenneth Craven, Scriblerian “Rawson’s book shows that there is considerable life and interest left in relatively traditional literary history.”—Charles A. Knight, Eighteenth-Century Studies “Rawson marshals an army of erudite references from Statius to Mailer to illuminate the major figures: Swift, Pope, Burke, Byron, and Shelley. His conversational style is wide-ranging in the best Augustan essay-mode.”—Laura L. Runge, Albion

Collected Poems of Thomas Parnell
(This edition is the first to establish a reliable text of...)
This edition is the first to establish a reliable text of the poems of Thomas Parnell (1679-1718). Based on a study of all the available manuscripts, including an extensive collection in the poet's family, and authoritative edition, it more than doubles the number of poems known to be Parnell's and represents the first publication of some of his works.

Gulliver and the Gentle Reader: Studies in Swift and Our Time
(Rawson is primarily concerned with "unofficial" energies ...)
Rawson is primarily concerned with "unofficial" energies that work below the surface of Swift's conscious themes. He investigates the connections between these energies and certain extremist writers of later periods, including Breton, Mailer, and Yeats, as well as the underlying similarities between Swift and other 18th-century writers, like Pope, Johnson, and Sterne.

God, Gulliver, and Genocide: Barbarism and the European Imagination, 1492-1945
(We are obsessed with "barbarians." They are the "not us,"...)
We are obsessed with "barbarians." They are the "not us," who don't speak our language, or "any language," whom we despise, fear, invade and kill; for whom we feel compassion, or admiration, and an intense sexual interest; whose innocence or vigor we aspire to, and who have an extraordinary influence on the comportment, and even modes of dress, of our civilized metropolitan lives; whom we often outdo in the barbarism we impute to them; and whose suspected resemblance to us haunts our introspections and imaginings. This book looks afresh at how we have confronted the idea of "barbarism," in ourselves and others, from the conquest of the Americas to the Nazi Holocaust, through the voices of many writers, including Montaigne, Swift and Shaw.
