OverviewIn 1699 John Dunton, a London bookseller and publisher, issued this blow-by-blow account of his adventures in the Dublin book trade of the time. In addition to presenting in his Scuffle a revealing view of the seventeenth-century publishing world in London and Dublin, Dunton also comments widely on everyday Irish life as he observed it. His pen-pictures cover Dubliners of all walks of like, from venerable ecclesiastics to prostitutes. Dublin Castle, the Smock Alley playhouse, Trinity College and Archbishop Ussher's library were part of his itinerary. For the present edition, the Scuffle has been entirely reset and provided with moderised spelling and punctuation. This elegant and readable edition is co-published by the National Library of Ireland and Four Courts Press.
