This is Homer’s Iliad set to bawdy verse by Thomas Bridges (1710-1775). It was originally published in 1762 under the pseudonym Caustic Barebones. This book gained in popularity, and was reprinted several times. This book contains all of the original woodcut illustrations.

Bridge is a collection of linked-stories about a troubled young woman?Alice?who works at a San Francisco law firm.

Passionate, whip-smart, furious, and perceptive, Alice contemplates both suicide and murder as she struggles to find meaning in the day-to-day interactions of her life.
