Dryden and the Traces of Classical Rome
Hammond, Paul (Professor of Seventeenth-Century English Literature, Professor of Seventeenth-Century English Literature, University of Leeds)
John Dryden was the leading poet of Restoration England, renowned both as a political writer and as a translator. This book examines the uses Dryden made of allusions to classical Rome, and his translations from Latin poetry. In both the original poems and the translations, Dryden illuminates contemporary England through parallels and contrasts with the world of ancient Rome.
