The Works of John Dryden, Volume XIV: Plays; The Kind Keeper, the Spanish Fryar, the Duke of Guise, and the Vindication (Works of John Dryden, #14)

by John Dryden

Kept women, comic clerics, and political schemers enliven the four plays in this volume of the California Dryden. Dryden asserted that The Kind Keeper was a moral play, dedicated to exposing the "crying sin" of keeping a mistress. The production was closed after three nights, but whether because of the play's success in moralizing, or in exposing, is hard to know.
