Very enjoyable puzzle. Perfect level of difficulty, I thought.

I totally agree Simon – classic stuff. Finished the puzzle and got the theme in 2 or 3 hours,but it took me longer than that to spot ‘artition’!
Memo to self :- Must improve the legibility of my handwritng.

So few comments? I thought this was classic Inquisitor stuff – entertaining, educational and challenging yet not mind-boggling.

My own knowledge of Dryden is nowhere, which made this solve more yet pleasing. In that way, it reminded me of Raich’s Larkin-themed Inquisitor a year or so ago.

Brilliantly blogged as always, thanks Duncan.

Thought this was very enjoyable. Had heard of the poem but not the quote. Top half seemed much easier than bottom half and liked the way in which the title of the poem emerged from the extra letters about the same time as MADNESS appeared as an unclued entry. Favourite clues SETTEE and DOITIT.

“Great wits” and “madness” are also close to each other in the grid.
