Alsatia was the cant name for Whitefriars, then a kind of sanctuary for persons liable to arrest, and the play represents, in dialogue full of the argot of the place, the adventures of a young heir who falls into the hand of the sharpers there.
But when Dryden joined the court party, and produced Absalom and Achitophel and The Medal, Shadwell became the champion of the true-blue Protestants, and made a scurrilous attack on the poet in The Medal of John Bayes: a Satire against Folly and Knavery (1682).
In 1687 Shadwell attempted to answer these attacks in a version of the tenth satire of Juvenal.

 Editing Pater's Gaston de Latour:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Indeed, for Shadwell the unfinished and unpolished must be decorously hidden away—a certain amount of his editorial energy seems to have gone into constructing the equivalent of those fig leaves which so proliferated on nineteenth-century statuary.
Shadwell and Pater's sisters would have agreed with Lamb—whom Pater admired also—although Pater himself, according to William Sharp, preferred reading the Greats in their own hands (certainly the poetry, perhaps the prose also, but most assuredly their letters).
Moreover, although Shadwell might have been able to assemble a Gabler-like collection of drafts and proofs, he clearly belonged to an age which lacked both the inclination and the technical command to undertake that sort of editing; and at this present temporal distance the necessary data are no longer available.

 English 213 A
Thomas Shadwell was a Restoration-era poet and playwright of considerable renown (he succeeded Dryden as poet laureate).
Shadwell, he is now remembered primarily as the butt of this poem, rather than for any of the works he produced.
Dryden's contempt for Shadwell comes from his belief that Shadwell is a bad imitator of a much better (but still flawed) master, and that Shadwell's lack of critical perception makes him more suited to be a Son of Flecknoe (a bad Irish poet) than a Son of Ben Jonson.

 Shadwell v. Craigie - South Carolina Personal Injury Lawyers
Craigie's failures, the record in this case supports a finding that Shadwell's cause of action for failure to inform her of the test results was barred by the statute of repose.
On the other hand, Shadwell argued that the statute of repose did not bar her action against Dr. Craigie because the time period was tolled while she was under Dr. Craigie's continuous treatment.
Thus, the statute of repose in the present case was not tolled by the time period between Shadwell's February 1996 and March 1996 appointments, presumably a period of time she was under the care of Dr. Craigie.
