Madison Agonistes Or The Agonies Of Mother Goose

Madison Agonistes Or The Agonies Of Mother Goose is a satirical play written by Israel Mauduit in 1814. The play is a political burletta and is meant to be performed on the American stage. The story revolves around Mother Goose, who is struggling to keep her nursery rhymes relevant in the changing political landscape of America. She seeks the help of President James Madison, but he is too busy dealing with the War of 1812 to pay attention to her. The play is filled with witty commentary on politics and society, and is a reflection of the political climate of the time. It is a humorous and entertaining read that provides insight into the political and social issues of early 19th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
