Cr�ticas:

"Drydenian scholarship flourishes, and its crowning glories are the five volumes of the Poems edited by Paul Hammond and David Hopkins [the footnotes} are a work of great editorial tact, and they not only satiate, but stimulate, one's curiosity The generous paperback selection is therefore particularly welcome." Matthew Reynolds, London Review of Books, July 2007 "This is an indispensable edition, providing just the resources for fuller understanding of a great genius." Times Literary Supplement 'These volumes are enormous achievements, full of implication for our understanding of Dryden's poetry, and wonderful examples of the art of scholarly editing." David Womersley, Notes and Queries. "The Editorial matter is the best we have, or are likely to have for a long time". Claude Rawson, Review of English Studies

Rese�a del editor:

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'.
