Works by John Dryden

This selection of Dryden's works is drawn from the full range of his poetry and prose and is arranged chronologically. Individual works, such as the famous satires MacFlecknoe and Absalom and Achitophel appear in their entirety. A number of Dryden's translations are also represented, including his full versions of Homer, Horace, and Ovid, and substantial selections from his translations of Virgil, Juvenal, and other classical writers. Keith Walker has provided a modernized text of the first editions with commentary on classical and contemporary references for the modern reader.
Dryden, John: - Suzanne Alexander is a writer who has worked for corporations for decades and also who has written short stories, poetry, and screen plays. After home schooling her own children she realized that many of the works of early history were being overlooked as teaching tools for middle to high school students because of the difficulties of the language changes. She edited and reformatted Dryden's Indian Emperor play so that it was easier for middle school students and high school students to perform and be received well by their audiences. Her work was granted a copyright by the US Copyright Office after review.
