Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 261-283. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - An impeccable copy. - From the text: In London, where he had arrived some years before the Restoration, Dryden began his literary career by turning out occasionally poems on affairs of state. But by the early 1660s, to achieve the fame and fortune he desired, he had also begun to compose for that favored resort of Court and Town, the public stage. When he wrote his first plays, he decided to do the safe and wise thing, and to imitate the works of established authors: in The Wild Gallant (1663; 1669), a low comedy, he followed the example of Jonson; in The Rival Ladies (1664), a tragi-comedy, he followed the example of Fletcher; and in The Indian Queen (1665), a heroic play, he again followed the example of Fletcher, or so he thought at the time. Although only The Wild Gallant failed in performance, none of the three plays especially pleased him. Each lacks the variety of incident, the depth of characterization, and the magic of language that he associated with the Soul of English drama and, in particular, with Shakespeare. - Michael Werth Gelber teaches at Lehman College of the City University of New York. He has recently completed a book entitled The Just and the Lively: The Literary Criticism of John Dryden, 1664-1700. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
