Dryden: Selected Poems is drawn from Paul Hammond and David
Hopkins's remarkable five-volume The Poems of John Dryden, and
includes a generous selection of his most important work. The great
satires, MacFlecknoe and Absalom and Achitophel, are included in
full, as are his religious poemsReligio Laici and The Hind and the
Panther, along with a number of Dryden's translations from Horace,
Ovid, Homer, and Chaucer. Each poem is accompanied by a headnote,
which gives details of composition, publication, and reception. The
first-rate annotations provide information on matters of
interpretation and give details of allusions that might prove
baffling to contemporary readers. Some 300 years after his death,
Dryden: Selected Poems will enable new generations of readers to
discover the poet of whom Eliot wrote: 'we cannot fully enjoy or
rightly estimate a hundred years of English poetry unless we fully
enjoy Dryden'.
