520 _a"The Age of Dryden" by Richard Garnett is a scholarly historical account written in the late 19th century. This work belongs to a series that provides a comprehensive history of English literature, focusing specifically on the literary developments during the Restoration period, roughly spanning the years 1660 to 1700. The book notably centers around the life and contributions of John Dryden, a significant figure in English poetry and drama during this transformative era in literature. The beginning of "The Age of Dryden" introduces the overarching theme of how the restoration of Charles II marked a revolution not only in the political sphere but also in literary endeavors. It discusses the transition from the styles and philosophies of the previous literary generation, notably influenced by the Civil War, to a new era characterized by a distinct clarity and logic in writing. The text hints at the broader context of Dryden's emergence as a poet, as well as the literary innovations that took place during the latter part of the 17th century, establishing a foundation for understanding the evolution of English prose and poetry that followed. This historical lens serves as a backdrop for examining the changing tides of literary fashion and the key figures that drove these changes, offering readers insight into the era’s complexities.
