1660 Puritan 1^ed Iter Boreale by Robert Wild England Restoration George MONCK

Robert Wild was a 17^th-century English Puritan poet best remembered for his poem ‘Iter Boreale’. This poem, along with many of his others, were quite popular during his time, much in part to the more scandalous nature of his works which did not align with his Puritan values.

This particular 1660 first edition of Wild’s “Iter Boreale” is notable for being dedicated to George Monck. Monck was the first Duke of Albermarle who was a pivotal figure in the restoration of Charles II as the King of England. Publisher George Thomason published this edition immediately following the restoration of the king, honoring Monck in the process.
