Absalom and Achitophel By John Dryden While at college he had written some not very successful verse. His Heroic Stanzas on the Death of Oliver Cromwell [1658] was his first considerable poem. It was followed, in 1660, by Astr???a Redux, in honour of the Restoration.

In 1663 he married Lady Elizabeth Howard, daughter of the Earl of Berkshire. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
