Apparently, D. A. Carson doesn't think much of the Puritans. From his New Testament Commentary Survey, page 145:

Of the writing of books on Revelation there is no end: most generations produce far too many. It is a little-known fact that the Puritans, for instance, produced far more commentaries on Revelation than on any other book, most of them eminently forgettable and mercifully forgotten. Something similar could be said about most periods of church history, including our own...
