Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard [SEP] Adaptations and parodies
In the case of the American "The Political Passing Bell: An Elegy. Written in a Country Meeting House, April 1789; Parodized from Gray for the Entertainment of Those Who Laugh at All Parties" by George Richards (d.1804) and published from Boston MA, the parody was printed opposite Gray's original page by page, making the translation to the political context more obvious. A shift in context was the obvious starting point in many of these works and, where sufficiently original, contributed to the author's own literary fortunes. This was the case with Edward Jerningham's "The Nunnery: an elegy in imitation of the Elegy in a Churchyard", published in 1762.
