Works of John Dryden, Volume XIV (Electronic book text)

Kept women, comic clerics, and political schemers enliven the four plays in this volume of the California Dryden. Dryden asserted that "The Kind Keeper" was a moral play, dedicated to exposing the crying sin of keeping a mistress. The production was closed after three nights, but whether because of the play's success in moralizing, or in exposing, is hard to know.
