Udall, known primarily as a playwright and schoolmaster, is acknowledged as a connoisseur of classical literature, which profoundly influenced his writing. 'Roister Doister' is steeped in the didactics of its era, encapsulating the pedagogical spirit and humanist ideals of its author. It reflects Udall's engagement with societal mores and his astute observations of human folly.
