Summary "The Works of John Dryden, now first collected in eighteen volumes. Volume 07" is a collection of dramatic works written during the early 19th century. This volume includes plays such as "The Duke of Guise," a tragedy that explores the political intrigues of the time, depicting characters embroiled in the struggles for power and influence in France. The themes of loyalty, ambition, and the complexities of human emotions are likely central to the narratives captured within this edition. The opening of this volume introduces "The Duke of Guise," framing it against the tumultuous backdrop of Charles the Second's reign, where the stage was a battleground for competing political factions. The narrative begins with the Council of Sixteen discussing the plotting against the king and the Duke of Guise's ambitions—a character who aspires to seize power amidst the chaos. Key themes established in this portion involve political betrayal, rebellion, and the moral ambiguities involved in the pursuit of power, as characters like Guise and his allies maneuver through treachery while balancing their personal desires and loyalty to their cause.
