4.0 out of 5 stars
some poems reflect Dryden's take on key public issues,
By
This review is from: Critical Essays on John Dryden (Critical Essays on British Literature) (Hardcover)
Winn has gathered together a group of essays about the Middle English writer and poet, Dryden. All the essays presuppose that at the very least, the reader is well familiar with Dryden's best known works.One interesting analysis is offered by Harth, who describes how Dryden was acutely interested in the main public issues of his day. Harth shows how some of Dryden's poetry and writings and be usefully viewed in this light. And not just as abstruse declaimings. Some poems are overtly political, as Dryden was a public poet and sought to influence public opinion on various matters. |
