A survey of Restoration poetry, from the forms in which it was disseminated to studies of important texts.

Prepared from a fresh examination of the early printed editions of Dryden's work, volume three of "The Poems of John Dryden" covers the poems written by the writer between 1686 and 1696. The poet's language is glossed in unprecedented detail.

John Oldham (1653-1883) was one of the most important English poets of the later seventeenth century. He was largely responsible for the development of the classical imitation. However, he has suffered much critical neglect, and this 1983 book was the first critical study devoted to his poetry.
