John Dryden, widely regarded as the preeminent writer of Restoration England, has left an indelible mark on literary history with his remarkable collection of poems. These third and fourth volumes, part of a five-volume edition, represent a comprehensive reappraisal of Dryden's work, encompassing his canon, text, and context. The modernized text has been meticulously prepared by thoroughly examining the early printed editions and considering the vast number of manuscript copies that have survived. Spanning the period from 1686 to 1696, this decade witnessed the culmination of Dryden's remarkable career, including the completion of his influential Catholic apologetics masterpiece, The Hind and the Panther, significant translations from Juvenal and Persius, and his triumphant return to the stage after the Revolution of 1688–9, which had deprived him of the laureateship.

Throughout these two new volumes, Dryden's language is explored in unprecedented detail, unveiling the poetic precision and richness of his vocabulary. Combined with volumes one and two, this edition offers the most comprehensive and accessible rendition of Dryden's poetry, serving as an invaluable resource for students of Restoration culture. It provides a deep insight into the artistic and intellectual landscape of this pivotal period, showcasing Dryden's unparalleled talent and contribution to the literary world.
