520			_a"The Poetical Works of John Dryden, Volume 2" by John Dryden is a collection of poetry that includes critical essays and commentary, likely penned in the late 19th century during the Victorian era. This volume examines the genius of Dryden, focusing on the moral dimensions of his works, the influence of his era on his writing, and his poetic style, which is characterized by vigor and eloquence. The beginning of the volume delves into the criticism of Dryden's moral stance as a poet and the appropriateness of judging his work by contemporary standards. It argues that, while his poetry demonstrates remarkable skill and lyrical beauty, it often reflects the societal norms and values of his time, which may not align with modern sensibilities. The opening discusses the delicate balance critics must maintain when evaluating historical literature, leading to a nuanced exploration of Dryden's works, where ease of movement and intellectual clarity in his poetry are highlighted as notable features.
