Hardback. New. For the first time since 1695 a complete text of De Arte Graphica as Dryden himself wrote it is available to readers. In all Volume XX presents six pieces written during Dryden's final decade each of them either requested by a friend or commissioned by a publisher. Two are translations three introduce translations made by others and the sixth introduces an original work by one of Dryden's friends. The most recent version of De Arte Graphica Saintsbury's late nineteenth-century reissue of Scott's edition based the text of the translated matter on an edition that was heavily revised by someone other than Dryden. In fact only one of the pieces offered here the brief Character of Saint-Evremond has appeared complete in a twentieth-century edition. The commentary in this volume supplies biographical and bibliographical contexts for these pieces and draws attention to the views on history and historians poetry and painting Virgil and translation which Dryden expresses in them.
