Synopsis
Subject. caroline, queen, consort of george iv, king of great britain. political satire, english. the connection between hone and cruikshank began in 1815, and for the next twenty-seven years the two remained firm friends. william hone is the forgotten hero of free speech in britain. he was a bookseller, publisher, printshop-owner and satirist ? george cruikshank was his friend and collaborator. in 1817, he stood trial for 'impious blasphemy and seditious libel'. his crime was to be funny. worse than that he was funny by parodying religious texts. and worst of all, he was funny about the despotic government and the libidinous monarchy.
