Book Overview

Hudibras V3: With Dr. Grey�������s Annotations (1819) is a book written by Samuel Butler. It is the third volume in a series of satirical poems that were first published in the late 17th century. The book features annotations by Dr. Grey, which provide additional context and explanation for the language and references used in the poems.The poems themselves are a scathing critique of the Puritan movement in England, which Butler saw as hypocritical and overly strict in its religious beliefs. The titular character, Hudibras, is a bumbling knight who embodies these traits, and the poems follow his misadventures as he tries to uphold his Puritan ideals.Despite being written over 300 years ago, the poems in Hudibras V3 remain relevant and entertaining today, thanks in part to Butler's clever wordplay and satirical wit.
