EDITORS COMMENTS
Caricature of Charles Reade: Multum-in-Parvo Champion, 1882 This satirical print captures the spirit of Charles Reade, a prolific Victorian novelist and dramatist, known for his challenging and wordy works. The caricature, titled "Multum-in-Parvo Champion," depicts Reade as a boxer, ready for a fight in the ring. With a furrowed brow and clenched fists, he exudes an air of determination and anger. The title "Multum-in-Parvo" translates to "much in little," a fitting description for an author who packed a great deal of substance into his compact narratives. Despite his reputation for brevity in conversation, Reade was known to have a long list of grievances. His novels and plays often tackled controversial subjects and challenged societal norms, earning him both praise and criticism. In this caricature, Reade is shown as a champion, not just of words, but of ideas and challenges. The print, created in 1882 by Terry Parker, captures the essence of Reade's personality and work. The satirical tone adds a playful element to the image, highlighting the author's unique character and his place in Victorian literature. With his fists up and a determined look in his eyes, Reade stands as a symbol of the writer's resilience and the power of the written word to provoke thought and inspire change.
