A sharp, sparkling take on London's roguish theatre. A return that brings Meriton Latroon's world back to life with wit, bite, and irresistible mischief. The English Rogue; Continued in the Life of Meriton Latroon, and Other Extravagants: The Second Part offers a vivid doorway into early modern drama and the comedy of humours tradition. This restored edition foregrounds the satire of libertine themes, the social gossip and intrigue that drove seventeenth century London culture, and the lively interplay between vice and wit that once set the stage ablaze. It is more than a reprint; it is a carefully curated experience of a pivotal period in renaissance libertine literature, where sharp social observation meets theatrical bravura. A note on literary and historical significance: Head's work sits at a crossroads of satire, street performance, and literature, illuminating both the craft of stage comedy and the real-world pulse of early modern England. For readers of satire and scholars alike, the book offers a compact anthology of character, bravado, and political edge, framed by a tradition cherished by collectors and students of seventeenth century london. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition invites casual readers and classic-literature collectors to discover a shimmering, shadowed world where comedy of manners meets volatile public life.
