Thomas Wright was a 19th-century English historian known for his works in archaeology, history of Britain, and commentary on English literature. One of his lesser-known works was 'A History of Caricature and Grotesque in Literature and Art'. In this book, Wright uncovers and discusses aspects of various forms of art in literature and tradition including caricature art in ancient civilizations.

While the contents of this book are truly extensive, some of the most interesting include the medieval depictions of dragons, Reynard the Fox, witchcraft, Erasmus's Praise of Folly, the famed Dance of Death, and much, much more.
