About This Item
Indianapolis: Bobbs Merrill, 1954. first edition. hardcover. Book VG: shelf wear to boards and spine, toning to endpapers, text clean, binding tight/DJ G: edge wear and chipping, age toning, NOT clipped ($4.50). 8vo 412pp. stated first edition. from front flap: "A pleasant, well bred, complaisant, free, frolic, good-natured, pretty age--and if you do not like it, leave it to us that do." In these pert and challenging words a lady in a Restoration comedy appraised teh spectacular age in which she lived. Readers of this engrossing selection of journals, plays, essays, anecdotes and biographies will be happy, indeed, that the age was not left to the people in it. A frolic age, certainly--for rarely has there been such a constellation of beautiful women, wits, gallants and debauchees as clustered around the court of King Charles II, reflecting his questionable brilliance." #02080.
