For the Irish Green Book and
In relation to our original question, "What is a Red Book?," now we can add, "What is a Green Book?." Considering the association of the color green withIreland we must ask ourselves about the color red and its relationship with Egypt. We do not have to look very far to discover that the Egyptian flag is indeed red andthat red is the color internationally associated with the Ottoman Empire, which is historically to Egypt by politics and religion. The relationship between England andthe regions that are the subject of our two books, Ireland and Egypt, is a comparative subject that these works only hint at in a humorous way. There is roomhere for serious academic study, however, as a more thorough examination of the history of the three countries would reveal. Now let's go on to thelocation of more similar works in the library.
Here we will be looking for material related to "The Egyptian Red Book." We could hope to find information on political cartoons in Britain in the latenineteenth century, other works of political satire, other cartoons that depict the characters in our work, and anything else that we can immediately get in hand tofurther our project in whatever direction our findings take us. We are primarily interested at this point in locating other primary sources, meaningoriginal documents such as other works of political satire from the same period.
Pull up the web page for the catalog; at most libraries, it is available immediately from the home page. Enter the subject heading--"Political satire, English" into thetextbox. Select the Subject option so that you are searching for other works with the same subject term.
