an extraordinary accomplishment Peter Holland, Times Literary Supplement This far ranging, comprehensive edition is important in several respects, but chiefly because it offers a miscellany of Restoration plays, poems and squibs which, when read in sequence, say far more about the culture which produced them than about the outrageous court wit associated with them.
