Stubbs shows the reader just how the country was brought to one of the most destructive moments in its history.’Dashing and daring colourful subtle and provocative . . . stuffed almost to bursting-point with character and incident. Feasting on poems diaries plays masques letters and biographies Reprobates introduces us to . . . a flamboyant parade of chancers dreamers turncoats heroes idiots and hedonists who grab the reader’s shoulders and force a drink on us as if in some dim-lit tallow-smoked tavern of the 1630s’Independent’Swaggeringly splendid...Stubbs is a brilliant expositor of poetry...one cannot resist being carried along the sheer boldness of the charge and the brilliance and lan of its execution’ John Adamson Sunday TelegraphJohn Stubbs was born in 1977 and studied English at Oxford and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge where he completed a doctorate in 2005.
