A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

AirT Rthe lapse of more than a centurj since the authors death, the Works of Drjden are now, for the first time, presented to the public in a complete and uniform edition. In collecting the pieces of one of our most eminent English classics, one who may claim at least the third place in that honoured list, and who has ven proofs of greater versatilitj of talent than either Shakespeare or Milton, though justlj placed inferior to them in their peculiar provinces, the Editor did not feel himself entitled to reject anj part of his writings; even of those which reflect little honour on the age, by whose taste they were dictated. Had a selection been permitted, he would have excluded several of the Comedies, and some part of the Translationa: but this is a liberty which has not lately been indulged to editors of classical poetry. Literary history is an important step in that of man himself; and the unseductive. coarseness of Dryden is rather a beacon than a temptation. VOL. I.
