The Works of John Dryden, Volume XX
Author: John DrydenPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520905334
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
For the first time since 1695, a complete text of De Arte Graphica as Dryden himself wrote it is available to readers. In all, Volume XX presents six pieces written during Dryden's final decade, each of them either requested by a friend or commissioned by a publisher. Two are translations, three introduce translations made by others, and the sixth introduces an original work by one of Dryden's friends. The most recent version of De Arte Graphica, Saintsbury's late nineteenth-century reissue of Scott's edition, based the text of the translated matter on an edition that was heavily revised by someone other than Dryden. In fact, only one of the pieces offered here, the brief Character of Saint-Evremond, has appeared complete in a twentieth-century edition. The commentary in this volume supplies biographical and bibliographical contexts for these pieces and draws attention to the views on history and historians, poetry and painting, Virgil and translation, which Dryden expresses in them. Many other volumes of prose, poetry, and plays are available in the California Edition of The Works of John Dryden.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Vol. 2 of 2: In Verse and Prose, With a Life After this particular account of the beauties in the Georgics, i should, in the next place, en deavour to point out its imperfections, if it has any. But, though I think there are some few parts in it that are not so beautiful as the rest, I shall not presume to name them, as rather sus pooting my own judgment, than I can believe a fault to be in that poem, which lay so long un der Virgil's correction, and had his last ptit to it. The First Georgie was probably bur lesqued in the author's lifetime; for we still find in the scholiasts a verse that ridicules part of a line translated from Hesiod - Nadia are, we nudes: And we may easily guess at the judgment of this extraordinary critic, whoever he was, from his censuring this particular pre cept. We may be sure Virgil would not have translated it from Hesiod, had he not discovered some beauty in it; and indeed the beauty of it is, what I have before observed to be frequently met with in Virgil, the delivering the precept so indirectly, and singling out the particular cir cumstance of sowing and ploughing naked, to suggest to us, that these employments are proper only in the hot season of the year.
