America found its voice by laughing at itself. In Modern Chivalry, H. H. Brackenridge turns the young republic into a comic arena of ambition, cant, and common sense. Funny, fierce, and unexpectedly tender. Framed as the captain and servant adventures of Captain Farrago and the irrepressible Teague O'Regan, this picaresque satirical novel ranges across frontier society and manners, watching ideals meet ego, money, and noise. Written as a don quixote style satire, it offers a pointed satire of American politics without losing its delight in character and argument. Its roaming structure keeps the pace lively, while the debates stay sharp, making it as readable as it is revealing now. Brackenridge's early American political humor is brisk and talky, alive to how power is performed, how learning is mocked, and how public opinion can be steered. An early American novel classic shaped by post revolutionary America, it remains among the earliest extended works of political satire fiction in the United States, and a vivid window into the eighteenth century United States becoming itself. Long valued in college early American literature, it also suits readers who want wit with teeth and collectors building a serious shelf of early American writing. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As a complete unabridged edition, it is more than a reprint: a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
