And it is not only as a dramatic poet that he holds a place in literature. He wrote odes, lyrics, satires, epics, poetry in almost every vein, and besides this, vigorous and manly prose. Dryden holds a high position in the history of literature, and had an influence over his own age which lasted long after his death. He helped to form a new taste in poetry, and to fix rules for poetic art which were more exact and elegant than had been used before. What we are most impressed with in the great E...lizabethan poets is the spon- taneity of their genius ; we feel that they were poets born rather than made. In Dryden's time there was a marked change : poetry began to be considered an art more than ever before ; rules were laid down, criticism on form was more severe. This was partly through the influence of French taste, which had been exerted over the new school of writers who sprang up in the court of Charles II. , many of whom had lived in France while that prince was exiled from his country.
