Download or read book The Poetry of John Dryden Classic Reprint written by Van Doren and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetry of John Dryden This is an effort to brighten the most neglected side of the greatest neglected English poet. There is some novelty, I hope, in a treatment on an ex tended and more or less enthusiastic scale of Dry den's non-dramatic verse as a body, with attention to the celebrator, the satirist, the journalist, the singer, and the story-teller all together. No justifi cation will be required, probably, for my interest in a poetic personality always important and never more freshly so than now.

The newly commissioned essays introduce readers to the full range of his work as a poet, as a writer of innovative plays and operas, as a purveyor of contemporary notions of empire, and most of all as a man intimate with the opportunities of aristocratic patronage as well as the emerging market for literary gossip, slander and polemic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study referred to as a "preface" is given this designation because its basic aim is not to offer an up-to-date overall assessment of Dryden's translation of Virgil's Æneid but, rather, to provide a relevant basis for such an assessment ?thus allowing for a wide range of readership. The relevance of this approach rests on two basic premises: that of R. A. Brower, who maintains "that no translation can be understood or properly evaluated apart from the conditions of expression under which it was made," supported by Dryden's expressed intention "to make Virgil speak such English, as he wou'd himself have spoken, if he had been born in England, and in this present age," together providing a genuinely relevant basis for an understanding of Dryden's translation, "the conditions of expression" here allowing the inclusion of all the possible implications this phrase includes.
