Reminding readers of John Dryden's persistent use of occult
rhetoric, Jack M. Armistead argues that Dryden's otherworldliness
involves more than Christian apologetics, biblical typology, or
intermittent borrowings from the supernatural materials in
classical literature. Rather, it manifests throughout his career in
occult materials drawn from many traditions, including but going
well beyond the standard classical and Christian ones. As Armistead
shows, Dryden's practice of juxtaposing pre- and post-scientific
treatments of such occult topics as alchemy, astrology, and
demonology pervades many of his poems and plays. In its engagement
with works such as The Indian Queen, Annus Mirabilis, All for Love,
and Absalom and Achitophel, among many others, Otherworldly John
Dryden not only enhances our understanding of Dryden's works, but
also tracks the writer's attitudes about Providence and the ability
of the poet to perceive a hidden design in earthly events.
