Excerpt from The Works of John DrydenI begin the postface or postscript which I promised long ago to this revised edition of Sir Walter Scott's "Dryden," after a far longer interval than I had expected, and in a mood something the same as that of Sir Henry Taylor's hero when he surveyed the perilous shelf that nursed his infant courage. It must be almost unnecessary to assure the subscribers to the book of the extreme annoyance and regret which the delay in its completion has caused me. But I may not improperly give them the assurance that this delay has been due to causes which were not merely, as the common phrase goes, "beyond my control," but also quite independent of any action or failure to act on my part. With the exception of this last volume (which for obvious reasons could not be taken in hand till the others were through the press) the entire work was, so far as I was concerned, ready for that press more than ten years ago.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A Good Introduction to Dryden By Kevin M. Derby When I was a child, I was a fan of a series of books that offered portable versions of the great works of the leading poets. One can imagine "The Portable Keats" or "The Portable Browning." One can not imagine "The Portable Dryden." That would be like "The Portable Thomas Wolfe." Some writers simply can not be captured in a small cage.The Wordsworth edition serves as an excellent start to Dryden, covering his political poems, his plays and his translations. While one could argue that some plays were left out of the anthology and should have been included, the basics are there. When finished, the reader can claim to know Dryden's work fairly well.Two minor quibbles. The text is small and hard to read. I often had to resort to using a magnifying glass. The introduction, while solid, was not exactly satisfying. Dryden's reputation has continued to ebb over the decades (despite the best efforts of say T.S. Eliot or Samuel Johnson or Mark van Doren) and there remains much that is obscure in his life and his work. Footnotes or endnotes would have been appreciated. Still, this book remains the place to start to understand and appreciate this forgotten poet.
