	John Dryden
		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 given the degree of M. by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1668; in 1670 he was made poet laureate and royal historiographer, which brought him an annual income of £200.
		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.

	The Tempest (Dryden) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tempest, or The Enchanted Island is a comedy adapted by John Dryden and William D'Avenant from Shakespeare's great comedy The Tempest.
		It is written partly in blank verse and partly in a sort of "rhythmic prose".
		Dryden and D'Avenant keep a great deal of Shakespeare's sublime verse, but generally tone the play down, simplifying grammar and language occasionally, removing much of the "mythic resonance" of the original, and adding a fair amount of their own invention.

	John Dryden's translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, Book II, the story of Ceyx and Alcyone
		Dryden's detailed observation of the bed is indicative of his attempts to rouse sympathy for the abandoned Alcyone and increase the drama.
		Dryden's approach is ambitious; in aiming to convey the essence of the piece, he recognises the deeper aspect of the Latin which his work must nurture.
		Dryden is also keen to emphasise the situation in which Ovid places his characters - two inferior human lovers versus the immensity of nature and the fate of the gods.

	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 Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Dryden continued to write dramas of this type, but it soon became apparent that he was weary of writing for the stage and tastes other than his own.
		Dryden was a royalist; Shadwell was a Whig and a supporter of the Earl of Shaftesbury, who was scheming among the Whigs to have Charles II's brother, the Catholic Duke of York, excluded from succession to the throne.
		Dryden was apparently commissioned by the King to expose the treason of the Whig sedition and the presumption of Shaftesbury, and he produced two of the finest political satires in English--Absalom and Achitophel (1681) and The Medal (1682).

		Dryden plays a great deal of homage to "Shakespear," referring to his "magick" (19, 23) and his "pow'r," "sacred as a King's" (24).

	William Shakespeare: The Tempest
		The character of Caliban, in the "Tempest" is singularly original : but the almost animal figure, which his dress must give him, turns the attention from all that is philosophical in the conception of this part.
		The "Tempest" is one of the most original and perfect of Shakespear's productions, and he has shown in it all the variety of his powers.
		The splendour of sunset in the ''Tempest" can escape no one, and the sternest opponent of guesswork must admit the probable presence of a designed allegory in the figure of Prospero and the burying of the book, the breaking of the staff, at the close.

		In the result, Dryden has little to fear from comparison in the matter of construction; and, though, in characterisation, he falls short of his exemplar, at all events so far as the two main personages are concerned, there is much in the general execution that calls for the highest praise.
		In 1673, The Tempest was turned into an opera by Shadwell, who shifted the scenes, and added, besides at least one new song, an entirely new masque at the close.
		It is this version, and not D’Avenant and Dryden’s, printed in 1670, which was printed in the 1674 and all subsequent editions of the restoration Tempest.

		He states, "It is no accident that The Tempest-a play itself largely concerned with the issues of power(s)-makes several species of power, the musical, the magical and the political, coalesce in the character of Prospero..." (136).
		Dryden believes that most of the time an audience is uninterested in a play, but when music is well composed and well performed, the audience can be "fooled" out of their enjoyment (42).
		Dryden does not go into a great deal of detail of where he stand on the music topic, but he lets the reader know that he does posses an opinion on the subject.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About The Tempest
		For many years, The Tempest was regarded as one of Shakespeare's comedies; however, the presence of tragedy, comedy, and a good deal of romance means that the play does not easily fit into any of these three genres exclusively.
		Of all of Shakespeare's plays, The Tempest is most often grouped with The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline, and Pericles?three other works that are also difficult to classify, because of their similar mix of comedy, drama, and romance.
		Inspiration for The Tempest is believed to have come from a letter written by William Strachey, detailing the experiences of a shipwreck survivor.

	Dryden
		Dryden, I suspect, was not much given to correction, and indeed one of the great charms of his best writing is that everything seems struck off at a heat, as by a superior man in the best mood of his talk.
		Dryden could forget that he had ever had a quarrel, but he never slunk away from any, least of all from one provoked by himself.[81] Pope’s satire is too much occupied with the externals of manners, habits, personal defects, and peculiarities.
		Dryden’s conversion to Romanism has been commonly taken for granted as insincere, and has therefore left an abiding stain on his character, though the other mud thrown at him by angry opponents or rivals brushed off so soon as it was dry.

		Shakespeare may well have written the play with an indoor playing space in mind as the King’s Men had begun, by the time The Tempest was written, to use the indoor Blackfriars Hall as a theatre, in addition to their long-established outdoor playhouse, the Globe.
		Fine costumes, varied music and the appropriate use of props and visual effects are certainly required by this challenging play but the action would have moved forwards swiftly and fluently, unhindered by elaborate scene changes.
		The aim of the Society was to return to the ‘authenticity’ of the Elizabethan thrust stage and swift, fluid stage action.

	New Statesman - Sound and fury
		Purcell contributed just one song to a musical version of The Tempest pieced together by a committee of composers in 1674, and it is sung by a character that doesn't even exist in Shakespeare's original.
		In the interest of tidy-minded symmetry, John Dryden and William Davenant had revised the play to supply Miranda with a sister called Dorinda, who cheekily woos the pretty youth Hippolito in Purcell's ditty.
		Neptune rears from the waves, Aeolus summons his gales and Amphitrite at last restores halcyon days of calm: musicians prefer to think of The Tempest as a poem about the weather, not a drama whose central character, the crabby magician with a dictatorial wand, is himself a monopolistic dramatist.

	Dryden's exemplary drama by Richard Seltzer
		Dryden was in a position to "improve" Sophocles' Oedipus in two ways: 1) the more he elevated the Hero, the more the audience could be elevated by the Example 2) by having an heroic hierarchy of characters and a general upward movement, thus giving the play both greater variety and overall unity.
		Eurydice is analogous to Corneille's Dirce: a daughter of Laius and Jocasta, heir to the throne, and lover of Adrastus.
		Dryden assumes that though the exemplary effect is of prime importance, the variety of an underplot is indispensable for a Restoration audience.

	The Tempest Essay at Absolute Shakespeare
		Had the panorama been invented in the time of Pope Leo X., Raffael would still, I doubt not, have smiled in contempt at the regret, that the broomtwigs and scrubby bushes at the back of some of his grand pictures were not as probable trees as those in the exhibition.
		The Tempest is a specimen of the purely romantic drama, in which the interest is not historical, or depen-dent upon fidelity of portraiture, or the natural connexion of events,—but is a birth of the imagination, and rests only on the coaptation and union of the elements granted to, or assumed by, the poet.
		It is the bustle of a tempest, from which the real horrors are abstracted;—therefore it is poetical, though not in strictness natural—(the distinction to which I have so often alluded)—and is purposely restrained from concentering the interest on itself, but used merely as an induction or tuning for what is to follow.

		Dryden, trying with his measured heroic couplets to recapture the high forms of the age of Augustus in Rome, appropriately translates the famous epic of Aeneas, founder of Rome.
		That Dryden's own historical period finds its way in these and other ways into his translation of the Roman epic are impressive and interesting.
		Dryden's translation makes perfectly clear that he did so only at the instigation of the gods, and that inwardly his heart was breaking.

		The storm in Act I, though archetypical in its correspondence to the shipwrecking tempest of Virgil's Aeneid, is analogous to baptism.
		It is the grotesque of The Tempest, with Caliban at the forefront, which makes this play fit into the mold of the antimasque.
		In The Tempest, the spirits of the forest must be dealt with, but are closely followed by a reconciliation ceremony and, in true tripartite masque style, the wedding of Ferdinand and Miranda; so, a maze is a physical "working through" of deep human need to find mitigation between the irrational and the beautiful.
