(Thomas William Hodgson) Crosland is a compilation of witty, early 20th-century poems that cleverly mock the social and political happenings of the time, using satire to explore topics ranging from British politics to public figures. Through playful and ironic verses addressed to politicians, celebrities, and other societal figures, the author playfully exposes the absurdities of his subjects, highlighting the gap between how things appear and how they truly are. The book critiques British society, taking a humorous poke at its politicians, media, and even cultural norms, like the obsession with sports, inviting readers to laugh along while contemplating serious social issues.
