Abstract

The Correspondence of John Dryden, edited by Stephen Barnard with John McTague, is a comprehensive edition of Dryden's letters. The letters contain news, writing, and expressions of gratitude for gifts exchanged between correspondents. The edition includes helpful headnotes and endnotes that provide context and annotations for each letter. The text of the letters is meticulously transcribed from manuscript witnesses and pays attention to their material forms. However, some readers may find the lack of collation lines and the quality of the black-and-white figures to be minor drawbacks. [Extracted from the article]
