The Political Songster, Or, a Touch On the Times, On Various Subjects, and Adapted to Common Tunes

Published in London in 1791, The Political Songster collected poems and songs that satirized contemporary politics, social change, and everyday life. The songs are intended to be sung to popular tunes, making them accessible to a broad readership and underscoring their subversive message. The Political Songster stands as an important example of the role that political culture played in shaping public discourse in the late 18th century.
