Summary "The Works of John Dryden, now first collected in eighteen volumes. Volume 18" is a comprehensive collection of writings from the esteemed English poet and playwright John Dryden. Written in the early 19th century, this volume includes a variety of texts, including essays, character studies, and critiques about women and notable authors like Polybius and Lucian. It shines a light on themes of gender, literature, and politics that were relevant during Dryden's time. The opening of this volume begins with a preface to William Walsh's "Dialogue concerning Women," which defends women's virtues in an era of critical male discourse. The narrative praises Walsh and reflects Dryden's own respect for the literary contributions of his contemporaries. It proceeds to explore the historical context of characters like M. St. Evremont and Polybius, illustrating their significance through Dryden's critical lens. This introduction establishes the volume's exploratory nature, aiming to analyze and celebrate the complexities and contributions of significant figures from history and literature.
