,,editorial ,,assistant ,jean ,t4 ,shebanek1 ,william ,andrews ,clark ,memorial ,library ,,introduction ,evan ,lloyd's works consist chiefly of four satires written in #agff and #agfg1a all of which are now little-known4 ,what little notice he receives today results from his friendship with ,john ,wilkes and ,david ,garrick and from one satire1 ,the ,methodist1 which is usually included in surveys of anti-,methodist literature4#b ,for the most part1 his obscurity is deserved4 ,in ,the ,methodist1 however1 he participates in a short-lived revolt against the tyranny of ,augustan satire and shows considerable evidence of a talent that might have created a new style for formal verse satire4 ,the seventeen-sixties were a difficult period for satire4 ,the struggle between ,crown and ,parliament1 the new industrial and agricultural methods1 the workers' demands for higher pay1 the new rural and urban poor1 the growth of the ,empire1 the deteriorating relations with the ,american colonies1 the increasing influence of the ideas of the ,enlightenment1 the popularity of democratic ideas1 the ,wilkes controversy1 the growth of ,methodism1 the growth of the novel1 the interest in the gothic and the picturesque and in chinoiserie1 sentimentality1 enthusiasm--all these activities made ,england a highly volatile country4 ,some changes were truly dynamic1 others just fads4 ,but to someone living in the period1 who dared to look around him1 the complexity of the present and the uncertainty of the future must have seemed enormous4 ,to a satirist1 such complexity makes art difficult4 ,satire usually deals with every-day realities1 to which it applies simple moral ideals4 ,the ,augustan satiric alternative--returning to older beliefs in religion1 government1 philosophy1 art--and the stylistic expression of such beliefs--formal verse satire and epistle1 mock-poem1 heroic or ,hudibrastic couplet1 diction of polite conversation1 ironic metaphysical conceits1 fantastic fictional situations--become irrelevant to the satirist writing when the past seems lost4 ,in his later works1 ,pope took ,augustan satire about as far as it could go4 ,the ,epilogue to the ,satires becomes an epilogue to all ,augustan satire and the conclusion of ,the ,new ,dunciad declares the death of its own tradition4 ,there is a sense now that ,england and the world have reached the point of no return4 ,the satirist of the seventeen-sixties who repeats the ideas and styles of ,butler1 ,dryden1 ,swift1 ,gay1 and ,pope seems not only imitative but out-of-touch with the world around him4 ,but such difficulties can provide the impetus for new forms and for original styles4 ,and in the seventeen-sixties the writers of formal satire show signs of responding to the challenge4 ,christopher ,anstey1 ,charles ,churchill1 ,robert ,lloyd1 and ,evan ,lloyd seem1 during this decade1 to be developing their considerable facilities with satiric technique toward the creation of new styles4 ,anstey's ,new ,bath ,guide has a combination of epistolary fiction1 realism1 use of naive observers1 changing points of view1 sweeping view of the social scene1 great range of subjects1 rolicking verse forms1 and tone of detached amusement which suggests a satirist who1 while still largely derivative1 had the talent to create new techniques4 ,churchill and ,robert ,lloyd are explicit in their wish to break from ,augustan style4 ,churchill argues that it was a sin 'gainst ,pleasure1 to design _/ ,a plan1 to methodize each thought1 each line _/ ,highly to finish4 ,he claims to write ,when the mad fit comes on and praises poetry written ,wild without art1 and yet with pleasure wild 7,gotham #agfd1 ,,ii1 #afg-afi1 #agb1 #bab74 ,his satire--with its deliberate1 irreverant1 ,byronic run-on lines1 fanciful digressions1 playful indifference to formal structure1 impulsively involuted syntax1 long1 wandering sentences--seems to move1 as does ,robert ,lloyd's satire 7at a somewhat slower pace71 toward a genuinely new style4 ,in being chatty1 fluid1 iconoclastic1 spontaneous-sounding1 self-revealing1 his satire might eventually prove capable of dealing with the problems that the ,augustan satirists had predicted but did not have to deal with so directly4 ,but both ,churchill and ,robert ,lloyd died before they could develop their styles to the point that they had a new1 timely statement to make4 ,anstey failed to develop beyond the ,new ,bath ,guide1 and his influence proved to be more important on the novel than on verse satire4 ,evan ,lloyd's first satire1 ,the ,powers of the ,pen1 is a clever but ordinary satire on good and bad writing4 ,it has some historical interest as an example of the early influence of ,rousseau in ,england1 of part of the attack on ,samuel ,johnson for his adverse criticism of ,shakespeare1 of the influence of ,churchill 7,lloyd declared himself a disciple71 and of the expression of the fashionable interest in artlessness which was influenced as much by ,joseph ,warton as by ,rousseau4 ,in a quill shop the narrator discovers magic pens which write like various authors4 ,the one whose ,mate was purchas'd by ,rousseau can3 ,teach the ,passions how to grow ,with native ,vigour2 unconfined ,by those vile ,shackles1 which the ,mind ,wears in the ,school of ,art4444 ,yet will no ,heresies admit1 ,to gratify the ,pride of ,wit 7p4 #cj74 ,he advances these critical dicta elsewhere in this satire1 condemning ,johnson because he tries ,nature by ,critic-law 7p4 #ba74 ,with fashionable ,rousseauistic ideas he praises3 ,the ,muse1 who never lov'd the ,town1 ,ne'er flaunted in brocaded ,gown2 ,pleas'd thro' the hawthorn'd ,vale to roam1 ,or sing her artless ,strain at ,home1 ,bred in plain ,nature's simple ,rules1 ,far from the ,foppery of ,schools 7p4 #cf74 ,evan ,lloyd1 ,robert ,lloyd1 and ,churchill1 starting from somewhat different philosophic principles1 all arrive at similar positions4 ,the ,curate1 his second satire1 is largely autobiographical4 ,it shows1 as does ,the ,powers of the ,pen1 some clever turns of phrases1 pithy expressions1 and amusing images4 ,it also contains incisive criticism of corruption in the ,church1 of declining respect for ,christianity1 and1 what seems to ,lloyd almost the same thing1 of a collapsing class structure4 ,the ,church wardens1 uncivil and unbred6 _/ ,unlick'd1 untaught1 un-all-things--but unfed6 are but sweepers of the pews1 _/ ,the ,scullions of the ,church1 they dare abuse1 _/ ,and rudely treat their betters 7pp4 #af-ag74 ,they show a lack of proper respect both for class-structure and ,christianity3 ,servant to ,christ6 and what is that to me8 ,i keep a servant too1 as well as ,he 7p4 #ag74 ,but ,the ,curate frequently descends to a whine4 ,the curate is morally above reproach while those above him are arrogant and those below him are disrespectful4 ,the most serious problem with ,the ,curate1 however1 is the same as the problem with all of ,lloyd's satires except ,the ,methodist1 and the same as the problem with almost all satires between ,pope and ,burns or ,blake4 ,the satirist seems unwilling to probe1 to find out what are the political1 ethical1 psychological1 or aesthetic forces that cause the problems which the satirist condemns1 and to recommend what can be done to change these forces4 ,if the satirist notes any pattern at all1 it is one of ineffective1 unmoving abstraction and generality4 ,one explanation for this deliberate avoidance of more profound issues is not hard to find4 ,an astonishing number of satires of this period contain a large proportion of lines devoted to describing how wonderful everything is4 ,the widespread conviction that whatever is1 in the ,england of the late eighteenth century1 is right1 may have resulted from the influence of ,an ,essay on ,man4 ,or the ,essay may have been popular because it expressed ideas already in general acceptance4 ,but whatever the explanation is1 the catch-phrases extracted from ,pope's most popular work become the touchstones of post-,augustan satire4 ,the problem that the satirist faced in the sixties was1 then1 formidable4 ,the country was in upheaval but the conventions demanded that the satirist say everything was nearly perfect4 ,as a result1 satire tended toward personal whines1 like ,the ,curate1 toward attacking tiresomely obvious objects1 like the superficial chit-chat of ,lloyd's ,conversation1 toward trivial quarrels1 like ,churchill's ,rosciad1 toward broadly unimpeachable morals1 like ,johnson's ,the ,vanity of ,human ,wishes4 ,it is understandable that many writers1 such as ,joseph ,warton and ,christopher ,smart1 abandoned satire for various kinds of enthusiasm4 ,methodism lent itself to such satire4 ,methodists could be described as unfortunate aberrants from an essentially good world1 typical of those bothersome fanatics and deviants at the fringe of society who keep this world from being perfect4 ,they were also logical heirs to the satire once visited upon ,dissenters but which diminished when ,dissenters became more restrained in their style of worship4 7,the ,preface to one anti-,methodist satire even takes pains to exclude rational ,dissenters from its target47 ,many ,methodists were followers of ,calvin4 ,these ,methodists brought out the old antagonisms against the ,calvinist doctrine of ,election 7or the popular version of it71 directed against its severity1 its apparent encouragement of pride1 and its antinomian implications4 ,the mass displays of emotion at ,methodist meetings would be distasteful to many people in most periods and probably were especially so in an age in which rational behavior was particularly valued4 ,and there were those people who believed that ,methodism1 in spite of ,wesley's arguments to the contrary1 led good members of the ,church of ,england astray and threatened religious stability4 ,yet all these causes do not explain the harshness of anti-,methodist satire4 ,no other subject during this period received such severe condemnation4 ,wesley and ,whitefield were accused of seducing their female converts1 of fleecing all their converts of money1 of making trouble solely out of envy or pride4 ,evan ,lloyd is not so harsh nor so implacably bigoted about any other subject as he is about ,methodism4 ,he was an intimate friend of ,john ,wilkes1 the least bigoted of men4 ,also1 there are essential differences between the ,dissenters of the ,restoration and the ,methodists of the late eighteenth century that would seem to lessen the antagonism toward the ,methodists4 ,to the satirists of the ,restoration1 ,dissenters were reminders of civil war1 regicide1 the chaos that religious division could bring4 ,now the only threat of religious war or major civil disturbance had come from the ,jacobites1 and even that threat was safely in the past4 ,it is notable that ,swift1 ,pope1 and ,gay tended to satirize ,dissenters within the context of larger problems4 ,the assault on ,methodists1 then1 is actually not a continuation of anti-,dissenter satire but something new4 ,hence the whole movement of anti-,methodist satire in the sixties and seventies has an untypically violent tone which cannot be explained solely in terms of satiric trends or religious attitudes4 ,the explanation lies1 ,i think1 partly in the social1 political1 and economic background4 ,the ,methodist movement was perhaps the most dramatic symptom 7or at least the symptom hardest to ignore7 of the changes taking place in ,england4 ,the ,methodist open-air services were needed because new industrial areas had sprung up where there were no churches1 and lay preachers were necessary because of population shifts but also because of the increase in population made possible by new agricultural and manufacturing methods4 ,the practice of taking lay preachers from many social classes had obvious democratic implications4 ,wesley1 in spite of his political conservatism1 challenged a number of widely-held1 complacent aphorisms1 such as the belief that people are poor only because they are idle4#c ,the mass emotionalism of the evangelical meetings were reminders that man was not so rational as certain popular ideas tried to make him4 ,wesley's insistence 7with irritatingly good evidence7 that he did no more than adhere to the true doctrine of the ,church of ,england strongly suggested that the ,church of ,england had strayed somewhere4 7,it is rather interestingly paralleled by ,wilkes's insistence that he only wanted to return to the ,declaration of ,rights1 a reminder that the government had also strayed47 ,and ,methodism1 by its very existence and popularity1 posed the question of whether the ,church of ,england1 in its traditional form1 was capable of dealing with problems created by social and economic changes4 ,these social1 economic1 and political issues are touched upon by a number of the anti-,methodist satirists4 ,most of these satirists1 however1 are contented simply to complain about the lower class tone of the ,methodist movement1 to note generally1 as ,dryden and ,swift had noted before1 that ,protestantism contained the seeds of mob rule4 ,the anonymous author of ,the ,saints fears ,their frantic pray'r is a mere ,decoy for ,mob 7p4 #d7 and the author#d of ,the ,methodist and ,mimic claims that ,whitefield's preaching sends the ,brainless ,mob a gadding 7p4 #ae74 ,evan ,lloyd is the one anti-,methodist satirist who explores the larger implications4 ,lloyd constructs his satire around the theme of general corruption1 that nothing is so virtuous that it cannot be spoiled either by man's weakness or by time4 ,the theme is common in the period and could have become banal1 except that ,lloyd applies it to the corruption of the ,church and its manifestations in daily life1 giving it an immediate1 lively reference4 ,the ,methodist practice of lay preachers1 for example1 ,lloyd treats as an instance of the collapse of the class system3 ,each vulgar ,trade1 each sweaty ,brow ,is search'd4444 ,hence ev'ry ,blockhead1 ,knave1 and ,dunce1 ,start into ,preachers all at once 7p4 #bi74 ,lloyd combines the language of theology1 government1 and civil order to suggest a connection between recent riots1 the excesses of the ,earl of ,bute1 the ,protestant belief that religious concepts are easily understood by all social classes1 democracy1 the emotional displays of ,methodism1 and lay preachers3 ,hence ,ignorance of ev'ry size1 ,of ev'ry shape ,wit can devise1 ,altho' so dull it hardly knows1 444 ,when it is ,day1 or when 'tis ,night1 ,shall yet pretend to keep the ,key ,of ,god's dark ,secrets1 and display ,his hidden ,mysteries1 as free ,as if ,god's privy ,council ,he1 ,shall to his ,presence rush1 and dare ,to raise a pious ,riot there 7pp4 #bi-cj74 ,lloyd presents an essentially disorderly world in which chaos spreads almost inevitably1 in which riots1 corrupt ministers1 arrogant fools1 disrespectful lower classes1 giddy middle classes1 and lascivious upper classes are barely kept in check by a system of social class1 government1 and church4 ,now1 with the checks withdrawn1 lawyers and physicians spread their own disorder even further as they3 ,quit their beloved wrangling ,hall1 ,more loudly in a ,church to bawl3 444 ,and full as fervent1 on their ,knees1 ,for ,heav'n they pray1 as once for ,fees2 444 ,the ,physic-,tribe their ,art resign1 ,and lose the ,quack in the ,divine2 444 ,of a ,new-birth they prate1 and prate ,while ,midwifry is out of ,date 7pp4 #cj-ca74 ,he combines the language of tradesmen with the language of mythology and theology to suggest1 rather wittily and effectively1 that disorder can be commonplace and cosmic simultaneously3 ,the ,bricklay'r throws his ,trowel by1 ,and now builds ,mansions in the ,sky2 444 ,the ,waterman forgets his ,wherry1 ,and opens a celestial ,ferry2 444 ,the ,fishermen no longer set ,for ,fish the ,meshes of their ,net1 ,but catch1 like ,peter1 ,men of ,sin1 ,for catching is to take them in 7pp4 #cb-cd74 ,this spreading confusion is1 however1 not just a passing social problem but one that results from many breasts being tainted and many hearts infected 7p4 #cd74 ,the corruption is almost universal and results in ,wesley 7as he actually did7 selling ,powders1 ,draughts1 and ,pills4 ,madan the springs of ,health unlocks1_/ ,and by his ,preaching cures the ,pox1 7he was ,chaplain of ,lock ,hospital7 and ,romaine3 ,pulls you by ,gravity up-,hill1 444 ,by your bad ,deeds your ,faith you shew1 ',tis but believe1 and up ,you go 7p4 #cf74 ,lloyd treats the confusion between sexual desire and religious fervor as another aspect of general human depravity1 extending the satire beyond the crude accusation of hypocrisy or cynicism4 ,he argues that the confusion is a part of the human condition1 allowed to go out of control by a religion that puts passion before reason4 ,the ,countess of ,huntingdon1 cloy'd with carnal ,bliss1 longs to taste how ,spirits kiss4 ,in his all-inclusive catalogue of ,knaves_/ ,that crawl on ,earth ,lloyd includes ,prudes that crowd to ,pews1_/ ,while their ,thoughts ramble to the ,stews 7p4 #dh74 ,what makes ,lloyd interesting1 in spite of his many derivative ideas and techniques1 is inadvertently pointed out by the ,critical ,review1 which complains that the author outmethodizes even ,methodism itself4#e ,that the brutal tone of ,the ,methodist went beyond the license usually permitted the satirists was recognized by ,lloyd himself4 ,at the conclusion of the satire he asks ,god to halt the ,methodist movement by getting to its source3 ,quench the hot flame1 ,o ,god1 that ,burns ,and ,piety to ,phrenzy turns6 ,and then1 after a few lines1 he applies the same terms to himself3 ,but soft----my ,muse6 thy ,breath recall---- ,turn not ,religion's ,milk to ,gall6 ,let not thy ,zeal within thee nurse ,a holy ,rage6 or pious ,curse6 ,far other is the heav'nly ,plan1 ,which the ,redeemer gave to ,man 7pp4 #eb-ec74 ,the satirist1 as ,robert ,c4 ,elliott points out1 has always1 in art1 satirized himself4#f ,but there is here as throughout this satire1 some attempt to develop a style which will express the belief that the world will always be disorderly and that the disorder stems from man's ,zeal within4 ,this condition of the world can be expressed satirically by a personal1 informal satire which recognizes and dramatizes just how universal the corruption is and how commonplace its manifestations have become4 ,the informal1 disorderly syntax1 the colloquial diction1 the chatty tone1 the run-on lines1 the conscious roughness of meter and rhyme1 may have derived from ,churchill1 but they become here more relevant than in any of ,churchill's satires4 ,they combine with the intemperate tone and the satirist's concluding confession1 his self-identification with the object of satire1 to create a sense of an unheroic satirist1 one who does not represent a highly commendable satiric alternative4 ,satire must now turn its vision from the heroic1 the apocalyptic1 the broadly philosophical1 even from the depraved1 and become exceedingly ordinary4 ,it must recognize that there is little hope in going back to lofty ,augustan ideals4 ,for such subjects1 it uses the impulsive tone of an over-emotional satirist who is as flawed as the subject he satirizes and still represents the best of a disordered world4 ,lloyd had attempted an autobiographical satire in ,the ,curate4 ,he failed to create an important satire for a number of reasons1 one of which was that he tried to present himself as a high ideal1 a belief that he apparently held so weakly that the satire became merely petulant4 ,lloyd corrected this error in ,the ,methodist and now seems1 however briefly1 to have opened the way to a truly prophetic style of satire4 ,after ,the ,methodist ,lloyd wrote ,conversation1 a satire that not only failed to fulfill the promise of ,the ,methodist but is more conservative in theme and style than any of his earlier satires4 ,after that work he produced little4 ,he published an expanded version of ,the ,power of the ,pen and a dull ode printed in ,the ,annual ,register4 ,when ,william ,kenrick1 in ,love in the ,suds1 implied that ,garrick was ,isaac ,bickerstaff's lover1 ,lloyd defended ,garrick in ,epistle to ,david ,garrick4 ,kenrick replied with ,a ,whipping for the ,welch ,parson1 an ironic ,dunciad-,variorum-type editing of ,lloyd's ,epistle1 in which he got much the better of ,lloyd4 ,lloyd was no match for ,kenrick at this sort of thing4 ,except for these uninteresting productions and his convivial friendship with ,wilkes and ,garrick1 we hear not much more of ,lloyd4 ,we know so little about his life that we can only speculate why he failed to follow up the promise of ,the ,methodist2 why1 after favorable reviews from the journals#g and the flattering friendship of famous men1 he was not encouraged to continue a career that was as promising as the early career of many famous satirists4 ,the explanation may lie solely in his personality4 ,perhaps the moderate success he achieved and the financial rewards it brought were enough for him4 ,another explanation is suggested by the conservative ideas and style of ,conversation1 which are more like ,pope's than are the ideas and style of any earlier satire of ,lloyd's4 ,in this satire he explicitly repudiates his older1 freer critical dicta in both theory and practice3 ,tho' this be ,form--yet bend to ,form we must1 ,fools with it please1 without it ,wits disgust 7p4 #c74 ,he uses mostly end-stop couplets1 parallel constructions1 ,augustan diction and similes4 ,apparently1 he began his rejection of his new ideas and style immediately after ,the ,methodist and before his #agff-agfg outburst of satire-writing was over4 ,lloyd1 in writing ,the ,methodist1 seems to have come as close as any satirist before ,blake and the writers of ,the ,anti-,jacobin to seeing the problems ,england and the world were headed toward1 to recognizing how genuinely volatile ,english society was in the middle of the century1 and to creating a style which could deal with those problems satirically4 ,it may be that he got some realization that his own long passages in ,the ,methodist praising this best of all possible worlds 7pp4 #af-bj7 and his invocation to the heav'nly ,plan at the conclusion made no sense1 that they were contradicted by other passages in the same satire1 that ,england and the world were changing with enormous rapidity1 and that the satirist would have to create a new style to express the tremendous economic1 political1 social1 and religious problems that were coming into being4 ,it may be that getting such a faint notion he withdrew into artistic conservatism1 into conviviality1 and into silence4 ,temple ,university
