1601 by Mark Twain
A Conversation as it was by the Social Fireside, in the Time of the Tudors
A short comic pastiche set at an Elizabethan court, in which the monarch and famous courtiers trade bawdy stories, witty insults, and outrageous anecdotes over a dinner, exposing the contrast between lofty historical reputations and earthy human appetites; written in mock-archaic speech, it lampoons social pretensions and Victorian prudery by delighting in ribald humor and sharp satire.
