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.
