Resumo

Este artigo examina os paratextos de The Rehearsal Transpros’d, sátira publicada em duas partes entre 1672 e 1673. Escrito por Andrew Marvell, e editado por John Darby e Nathaniel Ponder, o texto ridicularizava figuras importantes da Inglaterra da segunda metade do século XVII e debatia a questão da liberdade de culto. Além disso, as circunstâncias de sua publicação foram controversas. Seu imprimatur foi inicialmente negado pelo Inspetor da Imprensa, mas depois assegurado pelo rei, que gostava da comicidade de Marvell. A partir dos paratextos da obra, o artigo visa compreender as práticas da cultura escrita e as disputas político-religiosas da época.
