Book Overview
Hudibras, by Samuel Butler, is a celebrated English satirical poem first published in the 17th century. This edition comprises Volumes 2 and 3 of the work. The poem satirizes the English Puritans and various aspects of the English Civil War era. The central character, Hudibras, is a knight depicted as a pompous and hypocritical figure.
Butler's witty verse and sharp social commentary made "Hudibras" a popular and influential work of its time, and it remains a significant example of Restoration literature. Its enduring appeal lies in its clever use of satire to critique political and religious extremism. Readers interested in English literary history and the art of satire will find "Hudibras" a rewarding read.
