Hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. Auflage: New. 432 p. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag und der Buchschnitt ist leicht berieben. Sonst aber ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the dust jacket and book edge is slightly rubbed. But otherwise a very good and clean copy/. - This volume is designed to celebrate and to reassess the work of John Dryden (1631-1700) in the tercentenary year of his death. It assembles specially commissioned essays by scholars from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, essays which differ widely in their approach, assumptions, emphasis, and style. While no attempt has been made to address every aspect of Dryden s voluminous and wide-ranging output, special attention is paid to his political writing, his literary collaborations, his drama, and, in particular, to his translations, still an undervalued part of his uvre. Much of Dryden s writing was occasional in origin, having been written in response to contemporary events and issues, to meet the demands of performance, or to assist friends. Accordingly, several of the essays in this volume offer detailed consideration of the personal and public circumstances in which these works were composed and received. But, as Dryden s own contemporaries and early admirers realized, the intellectual and imaginative world which the poet inhabited was larger than that of Restoration England; for as well as being astutely engaged with the actualities of the present, Dryden s mind was continually engaged in dialogue with his literary predecessors classical, medieval, and Renaissance. Moreover, his work was to be read and admired in circumstances very different from those in which it initially appeared. So as well as reading Dryden s work in its contemporary contexts, the present collection also considers the poet s communings with the past and his reception after his death, thus attending to the ways in which he might be thought a writer not only for an age, but for all time. P.F.H., D.W.H. John Dryden was an English poet, literary critic, translator, and playwright who in 1668 was appointed England's first Poet Laureate. He is seen as dominating the literary life of Restoration England to such a point that the period came to be known in literary circles as the Age of Dryden. Romanticist writer Sir Walter Scott called him "Glorious John" (Wikipedia. Contents: 1 INTRODUCTION: IS DRYDEN A CLASSIC?
