John Dryden, Absalom and Achitop Quotes

A collection of quotes by John Dryden, Absalom and Achitop.

John Dryden (1631-1700) was a prominent English poet, playwright, and critic during the Restoration era. He served as the first official Poet Laureate of England and was known for his versatile writing style. Dryden's epic poem "Absalom and Achitophel" (1681) is a political allegory that satirizes the events surrounding the Exclusion Crisis of the late 1670s. The poem tells the biblical story of King David's rebellious son, Absalom, but also serves as a commentary on the political tensions and power struggles of Dryden's time. It remains one of his most celebrated works and a significant contribution to English literature.
