Centrism Games: A Modern Dunciad

by Rachel Fulton Brown (Editor)

Overview

Chivalry is dead. These knights want Fame. And Fama's a witch.

Follow a band of very different Knights on their quest to become the most balanced, the most tolerant, the most compromising of everyone on the modern political spectrum.

Each knight dares to liberalize and conserve, but who will win the ultimate prize and stay safely in the centre?

A cautionary tale in heroic couplets modeled on Alexander Pope's scathing 18th-century Dunciad.

Editorial Reviews

Three cheers for these writers, who boldly defy

our overlords, with their hearts of stone-

with a poem which might make you chortle, and cry;

both a story told and a gauntlet thrown,

in the court of Fama, where her suitors lie.

One quest has brought them all,

one madness blinds them;

one fate awaits-they'd best not look behind them,

in the court of Fama, where her suitors lie!

-Joe Long, author of Wisdom and Folly: A Book of Devotional Doggerel
