The Works of John Dryden, Volume XIV

Plays; The Kind Keeper, The Spanish Fryar, The Duke of Guise, and The Vindication
"The Kind Keeper" is a moral play, dedicated to exposing the "crying sin" of keeping a mistress. "The Spanish Fryar" is a comedy expressing outspoken antipathy to Spain and Catholicism. "The Duke of Guise" claims that opposition to the Stuarts was dangerous. "Vindication" is an expose of his art.
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.
