Dryden's last three years of published works begin with
"Alexander's Feast "and end with "Fables, "his largest miscellany
of poetical translations. "Alexander's Feast, "like the earlier
"Song for St. Cecilia's Day "("Works, III"), was commissioned by
the Musical Society for performance at its annual tribute to sacred
music. The "Fables "included selections from Homer, Ovid,
Boccaccio, and Chaucer. Extensive and detailed notes to these
translations show readers how well Dryden succeeded in transmitting
the styles and the very sounds of his originals. "Volume VII "ends
with a section of miscellaneous pieces published at other times,
including Dryden's only known Latin work. The presentation of the
writings in this volume, like that of the entire twenty-volume
series, is a tribute not only to Dryden but also to the editors who
have guided it through five decades.
