Summary "The Works of John Dryden, now first collected in eighteen volumes. Volume 09" is a literary collection that highlights the poetry and historical writings of John Dryden, likely compiled during the early 19th century. This volume focuses on various themes, including political commentary, reflections on historical events, and the glory of England's sovereignty. It showcases Dryden's literary talent through works such as "Heroic Stanzas to the Memory of Oliver Cromwell" and the celebratory poem "Astræa Redux," which returns to the context of Charles II's coronation. At the start of this volume, the content primarily features Dryden's poems addressing significant historical figures and events, particularly focusing on Oliver Cromwell and the Restoration of the monarchy under Charles II. The opening poem, "Heroic Stanzas," honors Cromwell's legacy while navigating the complexities of political allegiance in the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. Notably, Dryden exhibits a blend of admiration and caution in his portrayal, reflecting both the reverence and the uncertainties surrounding Cromwell’s role. The other works in this volume collectively resonate with themes of political redemption and idealized monarchy, providing readers insight into Dryden's perspective on power, loyalty, and national identity during a transformative era in English history.
