"Money Masters All Things, Or, Satyrical Poems, Shewing the Power and Influence of Money Over All Men, of What Profession Or Trade Soever They Be" is a fascinating glimpse into late 17th-century English society. Written by L. Menton, this collection of satirical poems offers a biting commentary on the pervasive influence of money and its corrupting power over individuals from all walks of life. The work also includes "A Lenten Litany," adding a layer of religious and moral reflection to the social critique.
This edition provides readers with a valuable window into the social and economic concerns of the period, reflecting the anxieties and realities of a society grappling with the emerging power of finance. Menton's satirical verse is both entertaining and insightful, making it a significant contribution to the literary landscape of its time and a compelling read for those interested in social history and the enduring themes of wealth and morality.
