Why was satire popular among 18th-century English writers?

Just a point; when empires fell, when Greece fell to Rome, Greek Satires became popular; after the death of C. Iulius Cæsar, Perseus et Iunius in the 1st & 2nd Centuries A.D., wrote scathing Satires of Roman leaders and culture that would likely not had been allowed earlier, but after the successive Roman Emperors were weakened, Satires became very

Popular, and very Roman.

France was not as it once was 100 years earlier, and at the end of the 18th Century, Britain, with the loss of the American Colonies (and more) was not seen as indomitable.

THE OTHER PERSON WHO Answered this question did BETTER than I for your testing purposes, so do view that! As a “student” myself on my own, I study Ancient Greek & Latin

texts, and it is amazing how the weak governments are surrounded by satire that was not there before.

I simply wanted to share these points with you. Tests are but one way to learn.
