About this title

Synopsis

"A Ballad In Macaronic Latin, Entitled Rustica Descriptio Visitations Fanaticae" is a unique and compelling work by John Allibond, offering a poignant glimpse into the tumultuous period of English history following the Root-and-Branch Reform of 1648-1649. Written in a blend of Latin and vernacular English, this tragicomic lament recounts the experiences of a country clergyman revisiting Oxford University after significant religious and political upheaval.

Allibond's masterful use of macaronic verse provides a satirical yet deeply personal commentary on the changing landscape of academia and religious life. The ballad serves as both a historical document and a literary achievement, capturing the anxieties and ironies of an era marked by profound social and intellectual transformation. This edition offers readers a chance to engage with a fascinating piece of 17th-century literature that resonates with enduring themes of faith, change, and the search for identity amidst conflict.
