The Works of John Dryden, now first collected in eighteen volumes. Volume 06

"The Works of John Dryden, Volume 06" by John Dryden is a compilation of theatrical scripts and verse crafted by the famous playwright, John Dryden, during the latter portion of the seventeenth century. Featuring comedic productions such as "Limberham; or, the Kind Keeper" and pieces like "OEdipus" and "Troilus and Cressida," the collection weaves together humorous and scandalous elements reflecting the moral ambiguity prevalent during Dryden's era through satire on social standards, romantic entanglements, and people's virtues. "Limberham" opens with the introduction of Woodall, who tries to hide who he is, and Limberham is shown with the flaws of virtue. Readers are transported to a boarding house filled with misinterpretations, comic interactions, and difficult love as they read witty dialogues which reveal the character's goals.
