Jokeby: A Burlesque On Rokeby: A Poem In Six Cantos (1813) is a satirical work written by John Roby. The book is a parody of Sir Walter Scott's poem Rokeby, which was published in the same year. The book consists of six cantos, each of which is a humorous take on the corresponding canto in Rokeby. The characters in Jokeby are exaggerated and comical, and the plot is filled with absurd situations and nonsensical dialogue. Despite its humorous tone, Jokeby also contains social commentary and political satire. The book pokes fun at the upper classes and their pretensions, as well as the political climate of the time. Overall, Jokeby is a witty and entertaining parody that offers a unique perspective on Sir Walter Scott's work and the society in which it was written.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
