The portrait for this article is inaccurate. The man pictured is Sir Charles Sedley, 6th baronet, of Nuthall Temple in Nottinghamshire. See provenance of portrait here. Shockingbadhats (talk) 06:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

2nd not 6th Baronet - see Sir Charles Sedley, 2nd Baronet. Picture now moved. Tryde (talk) 16:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

List edit

I have added the list of Sedley's works and material for further reading. Dalmatiner Henry (talk) 20:09, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pinto's edition is no longer the standard edition for the plays. Dalmatiner Henry (talk) 12:00, 11 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

See the edition of 2001 in the list! Dalmatiner Henry (talk) 20:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have added some aspects on Sedley's poetry and translations and on his parliamentary career. Dalmatiner Henry (talk) 21:06, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! — LlywelynII 02:57, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sources for future article expansion edit

Kindly restore these to the article as they are used as sources to verify statements in the text:

  • Vivian de Sola Pinto, Sir Charles Sedley 1639-1701: A Study in the Life and Literature of the Restoration (London, 1927).
  • Michael Benjamin Hudnall Jr. Moral Design in the Plays of Sir Charles Sedley (University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 1984).
  • Robert D. Hume, The Development of English Drama in the Late Seventeenth Century (Oxford, 1976).
  • Derek Hughes, English Drama 1660-1700 (Oxford, 1996).

Alternatively, they can be included in a #Further reading section if some curation is attempted, with explanations given as to their importance, bias, etc. (A better route would be to include a #Legacy section that includes treatment of these and then includes their bibliographic information with the other sources of the article.) — LlywelynII 02:56, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup needed edit

The acts responsible for his reputation and political career aren't separate sections from his #Life, though they might be subsections of it. His posthumous legacy should be separated out, though. — LlywelynII 03:04, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
