Hudibras is a vigorous satirical poem, written in a mock-heroic style by Samuel Butler (1613–1680), and published in three parts in 1663, 1664 and 1678. The action is set in the last years of the Interregnum, around 1658–60, immediately before the restoration of Charles II as king in May 1660. The story shows Hudibras, a knight and colonel in the Parliamentary army, being regularly defeated, sometimes by the skills and courage of women, and ends with a witty and detailed declaration that women are superior to men.

  • Hudibras is a vigorous satirical poem, written in a mock-heroic style by Samuel Butler (1613–1680), and published in three parts in 1663, 1664 and 1678. The action is set in the last years of the Interregnum, around 1658–60, immediately before the restoration of Charles II as king in May 1660. The story shows Hudibras, a knight and colonel in the Parliamentary army, being regularly defeated, sometimes by the skills and courage of women, and ends with a witty and detailed declaration that women are superior to men. Hudibras is notable for its longevity: from the 1660s, it was more or less always in print, from many different publishers and editors, till the period of the First World War (see below). Apart from Byron’s masterpiece Don Juan (1819–24), there are few English verse satires of this length (over 11,000 lines) that have had such a long and influential life in print. The satire “delighted the royalists but was less an attack on the puritans than a criticism of antiquated thinking and contemporary morals, and a parody of old-fashioned literary form.” Or, as its most recent editor wrote: “Hudibras, like Gulliver’s Travels, is an unique imaginative work, capable of shocking, enlivening, provoking, and entertaining the reader in a peculiar and distinctive way, vigorously witty and powerful in its invective. It is the ebullient inventiveness of Hudibras which is likely to commend it to the modern reader and which raises it above its historical context. Justice still remains to be done not to Butler the moralist but to Butler the poet.” All Hudibras quotations and references below, unless otherwise marked, relate to the standard modern edition (Oxford, 1967), edited by John Wilders.

Esta sátira apuntaba principalmente al puritanismo y los presbiterianos, así como a ciertas facciones implicadas en la Primera Revolución inglesa. El texto está dividido en tres partes, respectivamente escritas en 1663, 1664 y 1678. Publicado anónimamente apenas cuatro años después del comienzo de la Restauración inglesa y el regreso de Carlos II de Inglaterra, el poema obtuvo un gran éxito de público. El punto de vista está lejos de ser neutral, ya que Butler era un ferviente monárquico: solo el partido parlamentario es ridiculizado. El autor aprovecha igualmente la ocasión para parodiar la poesía cortesana y a menudo insípida de la época. (es)

  • Hudibras è un poema satirico inglese del XVIII secolo, composto da Samuel Butler. Composto tra il 1660 e il 1680, è una satira sui sostenitori di Cromwell e sulla Chiesa Presbiteriana – Butler era un fervente Realista e di confessione anglicana. La storia racconta le imprese di Hudibras, un colonnello dell'esercito di Cromwell, e del suo scudiero Ralpho. I protagonisti sono coinvolti in varie disavventure comiche nelle quali emerge il loro carattere stupido, avido e disonesto. Il poema fu molto popolare al suo tempo, e diversi versi in esso contenuti divennero proverbiali, tanto da suscitare svariati imitatori. Chiaro è il debito di Hudibras verso il Don Chisciotte, ma a differenza di Cervantes Butler inserisce molti più riferimenti a personaggi ed eventi correnti. Tra gli autori che ebbero una chiara influenza sull'opera si ricordano anche John Skelton e Paul Scarron, autore del Virgile travesti, una satira sulla letteratura classica. Hudibras fu ristampato molte volte nei secoli successivi alla morte di Butler. Due delle edizioni più importanti sono quelle a cura di Zachery Grey (1752) e Treadway Russell Nash (1793). L'edizione accademica dell'opera è stata curata da John Wilders (1967). Popolari sono anche le versioni illustrate, come quella edita nel 1726 a Londra con illustrazioni di William Hogarth. (it)
