Dryden and the problem of freedom : the republican aftermath, 1649-1680
This study of Dryden's thought argues that Dryden was the first English poet after Shakespeare to engage in historical reflection upon his own culture. It argues that Dryden exercised the moral integrity of a public poet and brought home to his audience the meaning of their historical experience.
