Editorial Reviews
Review
`a splendid celebration. Highly recommended.' G.R.Wasserman, Choice, April 2001
`as Hammond writes in an introductory essay to this commemorative volume, Dryden wrote not only for his age, but for all time. To appreciate the classic Dryden, then, modern readers need to be aware of the past and present worlds evoked in his works, and also of their reception both by his contemporary and later readers. The 12 thoughtfully commissioned essays presented here provide convincing proof of Hammond's claim.' Choice, Vol. 38, No. 8, April 2001
`Three hundred years after his death Dryden has been well served by those scholars devoted to his works.' Contemporary Review
