Collected Poems of Laurence Whyte

The poetry of Laurence Whyte (1740-1742) provides a fascinating window into the literary, political, and musical cultures of eighteenth-century Ireland. Situating Whyte as a missing link between the poetic styles and political world views of Jonathan Swift and Oliver Goldsmith, this edition of Whyte's collected poems, extensively introduced and annotated, brings his engaging, witty, and poignant work to a new readership.
