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.English poetry18th centuryEnglish poetry821.508Whyte Laurence1718866Griffin MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819888603321The collected poems of Laurence Whyte4116158UNINA
