Of Dramatick Poesy: an Essay by
Dryden, published 1668. The essay is in the form of a dialogue between Eugenius ( C.
Sackville), Crites ( Sir Robert Howard), Lisideius (
Sedley), and Neander ( Dryden himself), who take a boat on the Thames on the day of the battle between the English and Dutch navies in June 1665, and subsequently discuss the comparative merits of English and French drama, and of the old and new in English drama. The essay is largely concerned with justifying Dryden's current practice as a playwright. It also contains admirable appreciations of Shakespeare, J.
Fletcher, and
Jonson.
