Hodges is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work delves into the life and literary collection of William Congreve, an important figure of the English Restoration period, known for his plays and contributions to drama. The primary focus of the book is on Congreve's personal library, exploring the titles and influences that shaped his work. At the start of the publication, the introduction sets the stage by discussing Congreve's death in 1729 and the subsequent fate of his book collection. It introduces the key players involved, such as his friend Jacob Tonson, who valued Congreve's library, and the Duchess of Marlborough, to whom the books were bequeathed. Hodges describes the journey of the library, including its tedium of cataloging the titles, and explores the significance of these works in understanding Congreve’s scholarly interests, contemporary literary connections, and the enduring legacy of his contributions to literature.
