More about the book

The collection features three distinct poems by John Dryden, each highlighting his poetic versatility. "Alexander's Feast" celebrates music's emotional power during a feast for Alexander the Great. "MacFlecknoe" offers a sharp satire of rival poet Thomas Shadwell, depicting a whimsical realm where poets reign. Lastly, "St. Cecilia's Day" honors the patron saint of music, intertwining themes of music and spirituality. This anthology not only showcases Dryden's mastery but also serves as a significant piece in the study of English literature.
