DOWNLOAD EBOOK →John Dryden (1631 1700) was an influential English poet, literary critic, translator, and playwright who dominated the literary life of Restoration England. In 1650 Dryden went to Trinity College, Cambridge. Dryden began work with Cromwells Secretary of State, John Thurloe. His first published poem was Heroique Stanzas (1658), which was a eulogy on Cromwells death. Many of his poems were written about the prominent people in the public eye. Drydens greatest achievements were in satiric verse. The purpose of satire is not primarily humor. It is used as an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves. This volume contains "A Discourse on the Original and Progress of Satire," prefixed to The Satires of Juvenal, Translated (1692) and "A Discourse on Epic Poetry," prefixed to the translation of Virgil's Aeneid (1697).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Originally published in 1967. In this study of the English Augustan satirists, and the Roman and subsequent authors who were their models, Professor Paulson shows how rhetoric relates to imitation, persuasion to presentation, and the imitation of the satirist to the imitation of the satiric object. He illustrates the tendency of the satirist to invade his own fiction and imitate not the prime object of his satire but the satiric persona, which consequently takes on a life of its own. By analyzing the satiric fictions of the precursors of the Augustans, the author reveals the elements they bequeathed to those who rode the high crest of the satiric wave in England, before the art of satire became submerged in the deepening trough of sentimental romanticism. Paulson shows the Tories Dryden, Pope, and Swift and the Whigs Addison and Steele to be the heirs of a long line of satirists ancient and modern, from Horace, Juvenal, Lucian, Apuleius, and Petronius to Rabelais, Cervantes and the English Elizabethan and Civil War poets. Taking Swift as his main example, Paulson examines the dualism of satire in its most interesting and ambiguous modes, and as the embodiment of rhetorical devices that are as complex mimetically as they are rhetorically.
