A leading English literary figure of the 17th century, John Dryden (1631-1700) wrote dramas and critical works, but his reputation stands on his mastery of verse. Included here are "Annus Mirabilis," "Absalom and Achitophel," "Mac Flecknoe," "Song from Marriage à la Mode," "To the Memory of Mr. Oldham," "A Song for St. Cecilia's Day," more.
