Présentation de l'éditeur
In the preface to his great play, .A ll for Love, Dryden asserts that poets themselves are the most proper, though not the only critics of poetry, and thinks it reasonable that the judgment of an artificer in his art should be preferable to the opinion of another man; at least, where he is not bribed by interest or prejudiced by malice. English poets from Jonson to Swinburne have not been backward in exercising the function of critics on their fellows; but it is specially remarkable that almost every memorable poet throughout the illustrious bead-roll has expressed an opinion in verse on the poetical qualities of some or other of his predecessors or contemporaries.
