The Works of the English Poets, Vol. 15: With Prefaces, Biographical and Critical (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a collection of John Dryden's prefaces from a number of poetic works translated from Greek, Roman, and Italian sources. While engaging with the specifics of translating these works, Dryden explores the broader concepts of poetic license, style, poetic intention, and the how these concepts are manifest in various literary and historical contexts. In doing so, Dryden's prefaces offer the reader a masterclass in comparative literature, the history of ideas, and the craft of poetry. They reveal not only Dryden's methods and motivations, but also bridge the gap between the 17th-century and the present day through their exploration of timeless literary themes.
