Rolliad
The ''Rolliad'', in full ''Criticisms on the Rolliad'', is a pioneering work of British satire directed principally at the administration of William Pitt the Younger. It was written and originally published in serial form in the ''Morning Herald'' in 1784–85, and its authors also contributed ancillary satires which were published together with it.
==Structure of the Rolliad==
The satire takes the form of a piece of literary criticism of an epic poem called ''The Rolliad'' which is extensively quoted. The subject of the poem is John Rolle, MP for Devon, who is being guided around Parliament by Merlin who introduces the leading personalities to him. Rolle, despite the fact that he was not a constant supporter of Pitt, was picked out for ridicule by the authors after he shouted down Edmund Burke in the House of Commons. The authors claimed his descent from the Norman Rollo of Normandy.
