Abstract

There have been two different interpretations of Dryden's attitude toward church and state in his writings after the Revolution of 1688–89. Some have held that he would gladly have changed with the times but was unacceptable to the new regime because he was too notorious an offender; others, that he chose with silent dignity a relatively obscure place among the defeated minority.
