Sinopsis

Tom King?s Or The Paphian Grove, With The Humors Of Covent Garden, The Theatre, Gaming Table, Etc.: A Mock Heroic Poem, In Three Cantos (1741) is a satirical poem written by James Barber. The poem follows the adventures of Tom King, a rake and womanizer, as he navigates the seedy underworld of 18th century London?s Covent Garden district. The poem is written in a mock-heroic style, with exaggerated language and epic themes used to poke fun at the characters and situations. The three cantos cover a range of topics, including King?s love affairs, his gambling habits, and his interactions with various unsavory characters. The poem is a humorous and entertaining look at life in London during this time period, and provides a unique perspective on the social and cultural norms of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
