About The Book:
In this insightful study, David Hopkins re-examines the works of John Dryden, challenging the common perception of him as merely a Restoration satirist. Hopkins demonstrates that Dryden was not just a writer of his time, but a poet whose works transcend historical boundaries. Focusing on Dryden as a philosophical poet, the book reveals his poetry’s lasting relevance, particularly in exploring universal themes such as love, nature, and human life.
The study goes beyond the surface, analyzing the personal, commercial, political, literary, and religious influences that shaped Dryden’s writing. Hopkins also delves into Dryden's major poetry, prose, and drama, with special attention to his often-overlooked verse translations in his later years. This thorough examination of Dryden’s works offers a comprehensive introduction to the poet, making it an essential resource for students and scholars alike.
