Large 8vo. xxiii, 304 pp, acknowledgments, introduction, references cited by short titles, Court Satires; selected brief biographies, index. First Edition, 1975. Black and blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine, and illustrated endpapers. ``Lampoons of the kind collected in this volume represented a relatively novel literary form in Restoration England, but they were to prove enormously popular among the coterie of fashionable folk who frequented the Court, strolled in the galleries of Whitehall and St. James, drove in Hyde Park, gambled in the Groom Porter's lodgings, and thronged the playhouses of London. From their scurrilous exercises in libelous bawdry was to emerge a kind of subliterature, which is interesting in itself, vastly entertaining, and often useful to the biographer and social historian, but which more importantly, was to provide the rich soil of a tradition that was to nourish the later masterpieces of personal satire by such writers as Dryden, Swift, and Pope." from the jacket flap.
