Wolcot (1738-1819), satirist, wrote under
the pseudonym of ‘Peter Pindar’, began his career as a physician, took holy
orders, then returned to medicine until 1778, when he came to London and
began writing vigorous and witty satirical verses. He was easily the most
popular satirist of his time, ‘possessed of unfailing energy, cheerful
irreverence, and a good rough trick with a cudgel’. He is the literary
counterpart of James Gillray, his exact contemporary. Memorable
caricatures of James Bruce, George III, Thomas Paine, Bozzy & Piozzi,
etc., are included.
