Cloth. Condition: Very Good. First Thus. Hardback. Ex library Stamps on back page from St Marys University Library The Works of John Dryden. Prose. The History of the League 1684. . The single work in this volume is reprinted in full for the first time since the edition of 1684. Partly becuase The History of the League has not been widely available, students have generally ignored Dryden's long translation from the French of Loyis Maimbourg. They have focused instead upon the two items which have been reprinted, Dryden's dedication to Charles II and his long postscript arguing that the religious wars in the late sixteenth century France offer pertinent lessons for England after six years of plots and crisis. Although this volume is properly concerned with Dryden, it also charts Maimbourg's literary career and clarifies his narrative by providing maps and explaining his assumptions about historical process, church and state. Contents: The History of the League. Dedication to the King. The Author's dedication to the French King. The Author's advertisement to the Reader. The Contents of the Book. Lib. I. Lib. II. Lib. III. Lib. IV. The Postscript of the translator. Commentary. Textual Notes. Appendixes - A. Glossary of technical terms, titles and offices. B. 'The Table'.

'For the first time since 1695, a complete text of De Arte Graphica as Dryden himself wrote it is available to readers. In all, Volume XX presents six pieces written during Dryden's final decade, each of them either requested by a friend or commissioned by a publisher. Two are translations, three introduce translations made by others, and the sixth introduces an original work by one of Dryden's friends.

In fact, only one of the pieces offered here, the brief Character of Saint-Evremond, has appeared complete in a twentieth-century edition. The commentary in this volume supplies biographical and bibliographical contexts for these pieces and draws attention to the views on history and historians, poetry and painting, Virgil and translation, which Dryden expresses in them.
