About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 11 different recordings of The Constant Lover by Sir John Suckling. This was the weekly poetry project for the week of April 27th, 2008. Sir John Suckling (1609-42) was one of the Cavalier poets at the court of King Charles I of England. He took up arms in the conflicts of that era but was said to be more fit for the boudoir than the battlefield. He was a prolific lover, a sparkling wit and an excessive gamester and is credited with inventing the card game, Cribbage. Cavalier poetry was witty, decorous and sometimes naughty. The Constant Lover displays these elements as well as Suckling’s conversational ease and charm.
