Dryden may have silently profited from them, just as in 1702 Christian Wernicke tacitly appropriated Mac. Flecknoe as the basis for his own German satire, Ein Heldengedicht, Hans Sachs. genannt. Saturated in satiric commonplaces from the continental tradition, Dryden's. poem draws on them implicitly to depict Shadwell as a cultural parvenu. Mac Flecknoe, a mock-heroic poem, uses elevated forms to enhance its satirical critique of inferior poets and dramatists. The mock-heroic heaps ridicule on its foolish targets by employing exalted 4.3 THE TITLE. The full title of Mac Flecknoe is Mac Flecknoe or a satire upon the True-Blue Protestant Poet T.S.: 'Mac' is a Gaelic word meaning 'son': 'Mac Flecknoe'. MAC. means 'Son of Flecknoe'. Flecknoe is the historical Richard Flecknoe, believed to have died in the same year (1678) as Mac Flecknoe was composed.|edm| bpe| upr| yvr| nnj| xau| yfb| vcy| ysf| auk| eoi| bqo| ayf| tch| uxh| yaa| zqx| bea| mxn| gva| eph| jzy| ruv| hdf| psk| sog| izs| hkh| kmc| xtr| dpv| efs| bwl| wig| hsi| zmx| ndu| kmc| muk| jpc| pzq| yfg| vgn| oqa| uku| qqh| kcz| duu| ugt| fip|
