	John Dryden (1631-1700)
		Although Dryden began his career as a playwright with the production of two or three comedies, yet it was in heroic drama that he achieved his great popularity.
		Dryden assisted in its revision; and its success was such as to encourage him to write a sequel, The Indian Imperor, or the Conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards, which took the stage by storm.
		Dryden's influence was greater than would be thought possible from a study of any one of his dramas.

	John Dryden
		Dryden's education was such as became a scion of these respectable families of squires and rectors, among whom the chance contact with Erasmus had left a certain tradition of scholarship.
		Dryden's Antony is so deeply sunk in love that no other impulse has power to stir him; it takes much persuasion and skilful artifice to detach him from Cleopatra even in thought, and his soul returns to her violently before the rupture has been completed.
		Dryden took the field as a satirist towards the close of 1681, on the side of the court, at the moment when Shaftesbury, baffled in his efforts to exclude the duke of York from the throne as a papist, and secure the succession of the duke of Monmouth, was waiting his trial for high treason.

	John Dryden
		Erasmus Dryden was the son of Sir Erasmus Dryden, and was a justice of the peace under Cromwell.
		Dryden always was in favour of authority and of peace from civil strife, and consequently when disorders broke out upon Cromwell's death, he, with the rest of the nation, welcomed the return of Charles II.
		Dryden was accused of time-serving by his enemies, but this charge is easily disproved by his perseverance in his conversion during the next reign, when he refused even to dedicate his translation of Virgil to William III, lest he should be suspected of denying his religious or political principles.

	John Dryden
		Dryden's contribution to English literature, besides his poems and plays, was the invention of a direct and simple style for literary criticism.
		Dryden performed an inestimable service to his countrymen in applying true standards of criticism to the Elizabethans and in showing them a genuine and sympathetic if occasionally misguided love for Shakespeare.
		Dryden also enjoyed the advantage of being able to bring his knowledge of the drama of Spain and France to bear on his criticism of English dramatists.

	DRYDEN
		Dryden's Medal is a great satire and his Absalom and Achitophel and MacFlecknoe are distinguished poetic works but the satire of the latter two works has the greater potency by being enclosed in a poetic form.
		Dryden's potency as a satirist disappoints when he relies on rhetoric and logic but ameliorates when he is in poetic mode.
		Dryden is at his best when he uses his creative powers to ridicule the objects of his satire rather than when he trusts in vituperative rhetoric or deductive analysis.

	John Dryden, "MacFlecnoe," "Annus Mirabilus," Criticism
		Famous is Dryden's praise of Shakespeare for having "the largest and most comprehensive soul," which enabled WS to sympathize with and represent anything in Nature, but it is a Nature he found when he "looked inwards" (2117).
		Continuing his attempt to define "wit," Dryden says it "is a propriety of thoughts and words; or, in other terms, thought and words elegantly adapted to the subject" (i.e., high words for high subjects, and low words for low ones).
		Dryden's religious epistemology represents a type of doctrine sometimes called "fideism," a reliance on faith rather than reason for religious matters so as to unplug morality from the hard facts about society and nature which were being discovered by science.
