The Augustan Age

by John Butt

The Augustan Age (1962) examines the writing of the time, and the critical theory that supported it. By focusing on a few writers of paramount interest, the book looks at what men of letters such as Dryden, Swift, Pope and a few others have to say, set against the background of the age in which they lived.
