First sentence: The writing of satire in Britain was transformed in a number of ways between the French Revolution and the Reform Act of 1832, and these changes belong to a complex history that cannot be reconstructed using only The Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin, a few Byron and Thomas Love Peacock works, and Shelley's fragmentary satire against satire.
