| 520 | _a"Anti-Achitophel" by Samuel Pordage and Elkanah Settle is a collection of political verse responses written in the late 17th century. The work features three distinct poems that serve as replies to John Dryden's influential poem "Absalom and Achitophel," engaging in the political discourse of the time, notably concerning issues of monarchy, betrayal, and loyalty. Each poem not only addresses the conflict between the Whigs and Tories but also uses allegorical references to biblical stories and characters to illustrate their points. The opening of "Anti-Achitophel" presents a direct invitation to the Tories, the principal audience of the work, to engage in a fair exchange of ideas despite political disagreements. The poem emphasizes the contentious atmosphere following Dryden's initial publication, suggesting that the earlier work's audacity necessitated a retort. Throughout this portion, the author critiques the methods employed by the Tories and highlights the complexity of the political situation, using allusions to biblical figures to draw parallels with contemporary characters and political figures, effectively framing the ongoing struggle in a broader moral and philosophical context.
