'Constant Lover' Summary
Sir John Suckling, a Cavalier poet known for his wit and charm, penned 'The Constant Lover' as a collection of poems exploring themes of love, desire, and the complexities of relationships. The poems, written with a conversational tone, depict the highs and lows of romance, often with a playful, satirical edge. Suckling's work reflects the spirit of the Cavalier era, a period of courtly intrigue and social grace, where love was a game played with wit and skill.Book Details
