1875 1ed Merry Drollery Complete Jovial 17th-century Poems Merry Songs Wit Humor Ebsworth
“Merry Drollery Compleat,” is a rich compilation of lively poems, songs, and wit-filled prose first published in three parts in 1661, 1670, and 1691. This 19th-century reprint of this literary classic, now undertaken by Joseph Woodfall Ebsworth, resonates with equal vivacity and wit of the original. Ebsworth, a reputable 19th-century English clergyman with a keen interest in ballads, poems, and art, was also acclaimed for his literary reprints of popular poetic literature. His editorial work brought to life the older, popular poetic literature of “The Westminster Drolleries” of 1671 and 1672, “The Merry Drolleries” of 1661 and 1670 and “The Choyce Drolleries” of 1656. In this edition, he brings forth the 1691 publication, “Merry Drollery Compleat”, which he meticulously curates with an enlightening introduction, notes, illustrations, and emendations to the original text.
This specific copy, #292 of 400, signed by R.R. (presumably Robert Roberts), stands as a unique collectors item. The original edition was published by William Miller in London, 1691.
