Originally published in 1911, this early works on John Dennis' is a fascinating novel of the period and still an interesting read today. PREFACE: John Dennis's career was one of prolonged and various activities, covering a period of nearly half a century. He associated with some of the wits of the time of Charles II, he was on intimate terms with Dryden, he was a notable figure in the age of the so-called Augustans, and he lived to be pitied and befriended by Thomson and Mallet. The study of such a career of diverse and extended activity should be of value in promoting a clearer understanding of the literary relations of that interesting age. ...
