- Notes: First published circa 1605, "an allegorical, dystopian attack on the immorality, extravagance, and corruption of European life, particularly in the court of Henry III. Peculation, voluptuousness, prodigality, hypocrisy, dishonesty, atheism, corruption, oppression, and bestiality are ironically depicted as admirable"--Gibson 610. Gay-Lemonnyer I, 866 (also II, 464).
