I" by Walter Hamilton is a collection of literary parodies written in the late 19th century.

Hamilton aims to showcase the humorous potential of these original works while providing a critical examination of their styles. The opening of the collection sets the stage for what readers can expect from the book. Walter Hamilton begins by discussing the origins and merit of parody, arguing that it reveals the absurdities of celebrated writers and serves as a testament to their notoriety. He explains the history of his collection, emphasizing how it incorporates valuable insights and examples to illustrate the art of parody.
