註釋Following in the footsteps of Roman lyric poetHorace s "Ars Poetica," Boileau s "Art of Poetry" lays down, in four entertaining books dealing with all forms and genres of poetry, the codes and rules for good versification. This beautiful translation proved to have a lasting influence on the future shape of English literatureamong others, it was imitated magnificently by Alexander Pope in his "An Essay on Criticism," who also took Lutrin as a model for his own masterpiece, "The Rape of the Lock." Now revised by the great poet John Dryden, "Art of Poetry"is presented herewith Boileau's other masterpiece, "Lutrin," with the original French text on facing pages."
