Parodies

How to use the database

Each column is sortable. However entries in the ‘Reference’ column are only sortable by the first entry. There is no sorting option for the second or third entry.
The ‘Parody theme’ filter yields a list of themes or subjects of the parody. The ‘Form’ filter shows the form in which the parody was published (i.e. book, magazine, newspaper etc.) The ‘Periodical’ filter retrieves the names of magazines and newspapers in which parodies were found. The ‘Reference’ filter shows the bibliographic sources that this survey is based on.

Clicking a title opens a page with bibliographic details about the parody.

See About parodies for more background information on sources etcetera.
