"The Works of John Dryden, now first collected in Eighteen Volumes, Volume 11" is a collection of poetry and dramatic works written in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This volume encompasses various epistles, elegies, odes, and lyrical pieces penned by Dryden, showcasing his literary prowess and his relationships with notable contemporaries. The themes range from personal reflections to broader societal critiques, capturing the essence of the Restoration literary era. The opening of this collection introduces several epistles addressed to friends and fellow poets. For example, the first epistle is dedicated to John Hoddesdon, praising his "Divine Epigrams" and highlighting Dryden's early poetic ambitions while studying at Cambridge. Another epistle recognizes Sir Robert Howard's contributions to poetry, with Dryden offering a nuanced critique of his works amid expressions of camaraderie and admiration. These initial pieces serve to establish Dryden's connections within the literary landscape of his time, as well as his role as both a mentor and critic, setting the stage for the intricacies and artistic fervor that characterize his complete works.
