16971008<p>True first edition of Dryden's celebrated verse translation of Virgil — the standard English Virgil for over a century Alexander Pope's acknowledged direct model for his Homer 'the most noble and spirited translation I know in any language' and one of the masterpieces of late-Stuart English literary publishing. The work made Dryden £1400 — an enormous sum for a single literary project in the 1690s — and established the model of subscription publishing that would dominate eighteenth-century English book production.</p><p>Folio ordinary paper copy not the rare Large Paper issue measuring 14 x 9.5 inches 36 x 24 cm.

Front pastedown with morocco ex-libris of W. A. Foyle Beeleigh Abbey. Macdonald 84c; Wing D-2391; ESTC R4117. ◆A light diagonal dampstain at upper corner covering a little less than a quarter of the page sometimes quite faint never serious title and final page a bit soiled other minor imperfections internally but still a very pleasing copy the lustrous binding with almost no wear and the text with none of the major problems normally seen in copies of Restoration plays.<br/> <br/> From a distinguished collection this is a copy of a work of value not only as an adaptation of Shakespeare but also as an early critical examination of the Bard's language written by the most famous playwright of the Restoration period. Originally written around 1602 and first published in 1609 "Troilus and Cressida" has long been considered one of Shakespeare's more "problematic" plays. Seeking to update and improve the work to appeal to modern audiences Dryden revised the language deepened certain themes and leaned into the tragedy of the play with Cressida falsely accused of being unfaithful to Troilus and killing herself as punishment. In Shakespeare's version Cressida in fact does betray Troilus but lives. Of equal interest to the play itself is the prefatory essay "The Grounds of Criticism in Tragedy" in which Dryden offers a critique of Shakespeare's language and lays out his reasons for revision: "because the Play was Shakespear's and that there appear'd in some places of it the admirable Genius of the Author; I undertook to remove that heap of Rubbish under which many excellent thoughts lay wholly bury'd." Dryden 1631-1700 was deemed "the father of English criticism" by Johnson and Day notes that this essay is also "the first significant and detailed analysis in English of Aristotle's concept of tragedy." Our finely bound copy comes from the library of W. A. Foyle co-founder with his brother of the famous Foyle's Bookshop in Charing Cross Road. The three large Foyle sales at Christie's held in 2000 were a bibliophilic highlight of the new century and the sum of $19 million for which William Foyle's personal library sold in July set a record for private European collections.

Born in Cisalpine Gaul Virgil Publius Vergillius Maro 70-19 BCE published his first collection of poems Eclogues around 38 BCE and the Georgics in 29 BCE. Both titles illustrating the greatness of the Roman Empire were widely read due to "the technical perfection of his verse" Oxford Companion to Classical Literature after Virgil had become part of the poetic circle around Maecena giving Virgil accress to Octavian the future emperor Augustus.<br /> <br /> Musing the idyllic life of shepards in northern Italy in the Pastorals meditating on the nature of agriculture in the Georgics and in his great epic the Aneid following in the tradition of Homer. While the Pastorals were still likened to the poetry of other poets the Georgics were considered unprecedented. The inscriptions on Virgils tombstone "cesini pascua rura duces" I sang of farms fields and heroes captures the scope of these three works. Dryden's translation triggered a surge in popularity of the works of Virgil among English speaking people. Printed for Jacob Tonson hardcover
