Description
Dryden lived through the turbulent years of the English Civil War, and his balanced prosody reflects a longing to return to an ordered society. His clarity of language, balance of phrase and cultivation of the heroic couplet influenced many of the poets that followed him. - from Amzon
This volume contains Dryden's 1684 translation of Louis Maimbourg's "The History of the League," a work relating to the religious wars of France in the preceding century, and which Dryden used as a commentary on the religious persecutions of his own time in England.
