Dr. Roper describes the mode of many of Dryden s original poems
by redefining the royalism that provides the matter of some works
and the metaphoric vocabulary of others. Dryden s royalism is seen
both as an identifiable political attitude and a way of
apprehending public life that again and again relates superficially
non-political matters to the standards and assumptions of politics
in order to determine their public significance. "
Dryden s Poetic Kingdoms, "first published in 1965," "
principally through readings of ten poems, comes to the conclusion
that Dryden s poems are most successful when they work to create a
meaningful analogy between such topics as literature and politics
or between the constitution of England and the constitution of
Rome, the Garden of Eden, or Israel under David. "
