It presents an anthology of their work, much of it published here for the first time since the 17th century, and in a long introduction discusses the origins and development of the genre in England, and the history of medieval and Renaissance nonsense poetry in Europe. small moisture mark at the top right of the first page, and a pale mark at the top of the front edge of the text block.
