This 18th-century satire is the product of a distinguished club whose members included Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, John Gay, John Arbuthnot, Thomas Parnell, and Robert Harley. Together they set out to lampoom bad taste in education and the arts by lampooning the errors and pretensions of the fictional Martinus Scriblerus. This long-neglected masterpiece is accompanied by a preface that sets the Scriblerus club in its historical context and extensive notes that illuminate both thematic content and allusions. Still highly entertaining, the work is also an invaluable source of information on Augustan tastes.

Thereafter, Three Hours had only two revivals (Handlist of Plays in Nicoll, Early Eighteenth-Century Drama)-one in 1737 (two performances) the other in 1746 (three). A pity! But in any case the play could not have had much of a life on the[...]".
