Description
1698 ENGLISH John Oldham Satire Against Jesuits Popish Plot Poetry English Poems Juvenal

“While some no other cause for life can give, but a dull habitude to live.”

– John Oldham, Memory of Norwent

John Oldham was a 17th-century English satirist and poet whose poems reflect the Satires of Juvenal. While in Surrey in 1679, Oldham composed his satirical poems against the Jesuits, a collection of short verses that were condescending and trite, written during a time when anger was readily stirred up against the Catholics for the ‘Popish Plot’.

According to Allibone,

“These satires form a very curious work, and contain an immense number of stories and allusions to the Golden League. Oldham, far superior [to other poets], ranks perhaps next to Dryden: he is spirited and pointed”
