Review Quotes: "With this fine edition of Dryden's works, well-respected scholar Steven Zwicker makes a fine addition to the "21st-Century Oxford Authors" series. Dryden's major works are included along with key letters, and the editorial apparatus is intelligently and gracefully minimal ... This volume deserves a wide readership." -- A. Chapman, CHOICE
"Students would do well to study the writings of the great English poet and dramatist John Dryden...Drawing upon modern scholarship's finest minds, his collation is well worth the study; his introduction valuable indeed." -- John W. Davis, Decatur Daily"This volume has a different coverage than my handy, one-volume Kinsley, and is the better for it, because it provides a greater variety of genres." -- Cedric D. Reverand II, Eighteenth-Century Life"This is a superb anthology. The introduction, coherently conceived, seamlessly executed, and finely calibrated for readability, usefully provides a summative and analytic account of Dryden's life and works." -- A. W. Lee, Johnsonian News Letter
