About the author

Jeremy Collier

1650–1726

Best known for attacking the moral looseness of Restoration drama, this outspoken English clergyman helped spark one of the liveliest literary arguments of his age. His writing connects religion, politics, and the theater in a way that still makes the period feel immediate.
