The Interplay of Past and Present in Dryden's 'Palamon and Arcite'
- Published
- Seventeenth Century 23 (2008): 142-59.
- Description
- Hammond compares and contrasts Dryden's "Palamon and Arcite" from his "Fables Ancient and Modern" with its source, Chaucer's KnT, finding that Dryden reworked religious and political concerns to create a "macaronic fabric" that combines classical, medieval, and Restoration motifs in an idealized whole.
