"The Works of John Dryden, now first collected in eighteen volumes. Volume 15" is a collection of classical literature that showcases the works of the esteemed poet and dramatist John Dryden, likely compiled during the early 19th century. This volume includes a variety of his writings, with an emphasis on the epic poem "Æneis," which draws on themes of duty, heroism, and the divine influence on human affairs. It also features critical and historical notes, as well as insights into the life of the author by Walter Scott. The opening portion introduces "Æneis" Book VIII, which sets the stage for the unfolding conflict in a war between the Trojans and their enemies. Key characters, including Æneas, who seeks help from allies in his quest, are presented as they make preparations for battle. Significant events include Æneas receiving divine arms forged by Vulcan at his mother Venus's request, symbolizing his destined role in founding Rome. The narrative intertwines human struggles and divine interventions, foreshadowing the significance of fate in the epic journey of Aeneas and the larger Roman destiny.
