No. 9I0 EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY
As the English master of polished objective poetry, expressing exactly what the poet means yet with the word-sounds an inherent part of the sense, it is safe to say that Dryden will always be a classic author and will always be read. EVERYMAN readers have in this one-volume edition a comprehensive selection made by Bonamy Dobrée, who has made an exhaustive study of Dryden's work. It includes practically all the longer poems, such as Religio Laici, The Medal, Absalom and Achi-tophel, The Hind and the Panther, Mac-Flecknoe (the masterpiece of poetic
satire), Alexander's Feast (which has been called "immortal ragtime")-and every poem is given complete, except the early poem Annus Mirabilis. For the rest-odes, epitaphs,
satires, etc.—
there are examples of every variety of verse which Dryden wrote.
