Selected Poems (1685-1700)

The following book is a collection of poems written by John Tutchin. He was a radical Whig controversialist and gadfly English journalist, whose earlier political activism earned him multiple trips before the bar. He was of a Puritan background and held strongly anti-Catholic views. Many of his poems are related to his political activities, with one denouncing the possible accession of James II of England and another celebrating the arrival of William III of Orange.
