He also wrote almost 30 plays and was one of the great dramatists of his time. John Dryden was born on Aug. 9, 1631, in Aldwinckle, Northamptonshire, in the parsonage of All Saints Church, where his maternal grandfather was rector. His family were supporters of Oliver Cromwell and comfortably situated. When Dryden was 15, he was sent to London to Westminster School to study under the celebrated headmaster, Dr. Richard Busby, who was known both for his rigorous discipline and for his ability to instill in his students a knowledge of Latin and Greek. In 1649 while still at Westminster, Dryden published his first poem, "Upon the Death of Lord Hastings." The next year he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge. While at Trinity he published a poem in honor of a friend, John Hoddesdon, but there is no evidence that his university career was especially dedicated to poetry.

Check out our recommended reading list in our NEW BOOKSHOP Poets' Graves Back Next John Dryden John Dryden is buried in 'Poets' Corner' Westminster Abbey, London. (See map...ref no. 10) . He was buried near to Chaucer After the death of William D'Avenant, Dryden became the first official Poet Laureate. However, following the Glorious Revolution of 1688 (when William and Mary succeeded to the throne) Dryden, who had become a catholic, lost his position as Poet Laureate to his arch enemy Thomas Shadwell. Dryden satirised Shadwell in his poem MacFlecknoe referring to him as the heir to the kingdom of poetic dullness. MacFlecknoe was almost certainly a major inspiration for Alexander Pope's Dunciad Dryden was one of the leading neo-classical (Augustan) poets - along with Swift , Addison and Pope. In an attempt to move away from the work of the Elizabethan poets they drew inspiration from roman poets such as Ovid, Horace and Juvenal. Dryden Monument Photograph by Mike Reed Portrait of Dryden by Sir Godfrey Kneller Dryden's poetry is characterised by a witty satirical style - as in Absolom and Achitophel (1681) - although he did write some religious verse such as Religio Laici (1682) and The Hind and the Panther (1687). He was also a prolific playwright although today his plays are not highly regarded.

John Dryden John Dryden, an English poet and dramatist who would dominate literary efforts of The Restoration, was born on August 19, 1631, in Aldwinkle, Northamptonshire, England. He received a classical education at Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, then moved to London in 1657 to commence his career as a professional writer. His first play, The Wild Gallant (1663), was a failure when first presented, but Dryden soon found more success with The Indian Queen (1664) which he co-authored with Sir Robert Howard and which served as his initial attempt to found a new theatrical genre, the heroic tragedy. Although George Villiers' The Rehearsal , a vicious satire of heroic tragedy, brought a quick end to the form, Dryden still managed to produce a number of successful works in this genre including The Indian Emperor (1665) and Secret Love (1667) which mixed heroic tragedy with contemporary comedy. The young playwright's reputation grew quickly, and in 1668, only ten years after his move to London, Dryden was appointed Poet Laureate of England. (He was later stripped of the title because of religious differences when William and Mary came into power.) That same year, he agreed to write exclusively for Thomas Killigrew's theatrical company and became a shareholder. Both his first offering

Dryden, John John Dryden (1631-1700) carried out a significant critical project, the understanding of which has generally remained within the lines laid down in Samuel Johnson 's essay, which divided Dryden's work into the "general or [the] occasional," identified as the necessary and true as opposed to the contingent and corrupt. "In his general precepts, which depend upon the nature of things, and the structure of the human mind, he may doubtless be safely recommended to the confidence of the reader; but his occasional and particular positions were sometimes interested, sometimes negligent, and sometimes capricious" (Johnson, Lives 1:227). Attention being directed to the codification of Dryden's opinion within the terms of this opposition, critical discourse on Dryden has consisted largely in separating Dryden's principles from his own contingent failures to adhere to those principles. The thematic elements of Dryden's criticismancients versus moderns, French neoclassicism versus English practice, rhyme versus blank verse, lexical usage versus prescription, probability versus poetic justice, universal value versus the spirit of the age, and so onhave been codified concisely by W. K. Wimsatt and Cleanth Brooks ( Literary Criticism 196-217) and painstakingly by Robert Hume (Dryden's Criticism) delight of form) around a notion of correspondence that is organic rather than formal. His negotiation with the neoclassical terms of
