Description

Explore the hidden depths of one of England's most significant literary figures with Otherworldly John Dryden: Occult Rhetoric in His Poems and Plays. In this scholarly work, Jack M. Armistead examines how Dryden utilized occult rhetoric throughout his entire career. This book moves beyond standard interpretations of Christian apologetics or simple biblical typology. Instead, it reveals how Dryden drew from a vast array of traditions that extend well beyond classical and Christian sources. Readers will see how the poet integrated diverse supernatural materials into his writing, creating a unique literary voice. Armistead provides a detailed look at how Dryden juxtaposed pre-scientific and post-scientific perspectives. By analyzing his treatment of topics such as alchemy, astrology, and demonology, this text offers a new way to understand the supernatural elements within Dryden's poems and plays. It is an essential resource for students and scholars of literature and history.
