About John Dryden
John Dryden, the preeminent literary figure of the Restoration era, was a versatile and influential English poet, playwright, translator, and critic. Born in 1631, Dryden's prolific career spanned various genres, including satires, plays, fables, poems, essays, and librettos. Appointed as England's first official Poet Laureate in 1668 by King Charles II, Dryden's work dominated the literary scene of his time and continues to resonate today. His notable works include "All for Love," "Absalom and Achitophel," and "An Essay of Dramatic Poesy," which significantly contributed to English literary theory and practice. Dryden's mastery of the heroic couplet and his insightful literary criticism cemented his legacy as a foundational figure in English literature. His final resting place is in the hallowed "Poets' Corner" of Westminster Abbey, near the likes of Geoffrey Chaucer, a testament to his enduring impact on the literary world.
