A collection of poetry which include poems from the author's time as Poet Laureate and loyal servant of the crown.
A new and comprehensive selection of Dryden''s poetry, revealing him as a master of theatricality, ventriloquism, and unmistakable originality. Brought together here are many of the poems from his time as Poet Laureate and loyal servant of the crown, including the Biblical allegory ''Absalom and Achitophel'', in which the poet attacked those who intrigued against the King and earned himself a reputation for menace and a number of powerful enemies. His ''Works of Virgil'' set the standard for the translation of Latin poetry. His last work, ''Fables Ancient and Modern'' combined original verse and new translations, showing how he transformed the idioms and gestures of other voices and made them his own.
