[Earl Miner,Jennifer Brady] Literary Transmission and Authority Dryden and Other Writers (Cambridge Studies in Eighteenth-Century English Literature and Thought)(pdf){Zzzzz}[BЯ] (Size: 4.74 MB)
Description Dryden defined himself as a writer in relation to other writers, and in doing so was something of a pioneer professional man of letters. This book looks at Dryden's literary relationships with Ben Jonson and with French authors (notably Corneille); at issues raised by the work thought to be his greatest by Romantic and contemporary readers, Fables Ancient and Modern; and at Samuel Johnson's Life of Dryden. This book has implications for questions of literary reception, influence and intertextuality, as well as for the reputation and context of Dryden himself.
