	Satire in the work of Jonathan Swift and John Gay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		John Gay appears, in his early writings, to be much less misanthropic than Swift, although later in life his views of humanity seem to darken.
		Gay's shepherds are much more like real people and thereby much less idealised than the shepherds which appeared in the pastorals of more traditional writers such as Phillips or the classical writers such as Virgil.
		Gay here appears to be admiring the fact that the snail is unashamed of what he is and criticising the butterfly for looking down on him, despite the fact that the butterfly was, until recently, equally as 'low'.

		In John Gay and the London Theatre, the first book-length study of John Gay as dramatic author, Calhoun Winton recognizes the Opera as part of an entirely self-conscious career in the theatre, a career that Gay pursued from his earliest days as a writer in London and continued to follow to his death.
		Although concentrating on Gay and his theatrical career, Winton also limns a vivid portrait of London itself and of the London stage of Gay's time, a period of considerable turbulence both within and outside the theatre.
		Gay's plays reflect in varying ways and degrees that social, political, and cultural turmoil.

		Gay’s highly original depiction of the thieves, informers, prostitutes and highwaymen thronging the slums and prisons of the corrupt London underworld proved brilliantly successful in exposing the dark side of a corrupt and jaded society.
