For the first time since 1695, a complete text of "De Arte
Graphica" as Dryden himself wrote it is available to readers. In
all, Volume XX presents six pieces written during Dryden's final
decade, each of them either requested by a friend or commissioned
by a publisher. Two are translations, three introduce translations
made by others, and the sixth introduces an original work by one of
Dryden's friends.
The most recent version of "De Arte Graphica," Saintsbury's late
nineteenth-century reissue of Scott's edition, based the text of
the translated matter on an edition that was heavily revised by
someone other than Dryden. In fact, only one of the pieces offered
here, the brief "Character of Saint-Evremond," has appeared
complete in a twentieth-century edition. The commentary in this
volume supplies biographical and bibliographical contexts for these
pieces and draws attention to the views on history and historians,
poetry and painting, Virgil and translation, which Dryden expresses
in them.
Many other volumes of prose, poetry, and plays are available in the
California Edition of "The Works of John Dryden,"
