John Dryden, Henry Herringman, and the dedication of Restoration playbooks
The Politics of Restoration Playbook Dedications
The dedications to Restoration play quartos were an important part of what readers could expect to find when they picked up a late seventeenth-century playbook. Addressed to aristocrats, celebrities, politicians, and other leading figures of the day, the printed play dedication has been read by later generations of historians and literary scholars as one of the surest means we have of decoding the politics and ideological investments of Restorati…
Behn’s Jonson
This article re-evaluates Aphra Behn’s involvement in the establishment of Ben Jonson’s Restoration heritage. Behn, like many of her contemporaries, used Jonson as a guide for considering the competing merits of comedy in a Horatian or Renaissance humanist mode – which could offer profit as well as delight – alongside more immediately physical varieties of popular comic theatre such as farce. I argue that Behn’s comic practice drew on an intimate…

It contends that, for a brief period, Politicus was the nearest thing that the mid-seventeenth century had to a literary periodical and contests standard accounts that Politicus was only successful because government monopoly made it so. Instead I show that Politicus was instrumental in creating an i…

The Insults of Defeat
The nose has a small but special place in the politics of interregnum England. Oliver Cromwell's, bulbous and red, gave royalist polemicists a conspicuous target for their discontent with Republican and Protectoral statecraft. For those satirists and newsbook writers of the period who remained loyal to the Stuart dynasty, Cromwell's nose revealed his manifold failings. Hyperactive and oversized, it indicated a prodigious sexual appetite ill-suite…
