| Summary | "The Works of John Dryden, now first collected in eighteen volumes. Volume 10" is a collection of literary works, specifically poetry and essays, compiled from the writings of John Dryden and published during the early 19th century. This volume includes Dryden's poem "Religio Laici," which discusses theological matters and presents his perspectives on faith and religion amidst the complexities of his time. The works likely engage with themes of Christianity, sectarianism, and personal belief. The opening of this volume presents "Religio Laici," an epistolary poem where Dryden articulates his beliefs as a layman amidst a tumultuous religious landscape. He navigates the contentious debates between various religious factions, aiming for a rational exposition of faith that reconciles differing viewpoints. Dryden addresses objections to revealed religion versus rational inquiry, emphasizing the importance of individual reason tempered with faith. His arguments suggest a yearning for a balanced perspective, advocating for personal conviction while also acknowledging the authority of the Church of England despite recognizing the shortcomings within traditions.
