John Dryden was the greatest writer of Restoration England. These
volumes are the third and fourth volumes in a five-volume edition
of Dryden's poems and result from a complete reappraisal of the
canon, text and context of his work. The modernised text has been
prepared from a fresh examination of the early printed editions and
takes account of the large number of manuscript copies which
survived. These volumes cover the poems which Dryden published
between 1686-1696. This was a decade which saw the completion of
his work of Catholic apologetics, The Hindand the Panther, the
major translations from Juvenal and Persius, and his return to the
stage after the Revolution of 1688-9 deprived him of the
laureateship. Throughout these two new volumes Dryden's language is
glossed in unprecedented detail, revealing the poetic precision of
his vocabulary. Together with volumes one and two they offer the
most informative and accessible edition of Dryden's poetry and
provide an invaluable resource for students of Restoratation
culture.
