Translated into Verse, from Homer, Ovid, Boccace, & Chaucer: With Original Poems. 'First edition of Dryden's collection of fables from Ovid, Homer, Boccaccio and Chaucer, completed and published the year of Dryden's death. "The golden Preface [of Dryden's Fables] describes his delighted progress from Homer to Ovid, from Ovid to Chaucer, and from Chaucer to Boccaccio, the volume constantly swelling in his hands; 'I have built a house,' he concludes, 'where I intended but a lodge'. Dryden's search for materials was far and wide. He plundered medieval as well as ancient story; he went to the greatest tellers of tales wherever they were, whether they were Greek, Roman, Italian, or English. The chime of Dryden's verse was never done" (Van Doren, 214-15). Includes selections from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Boccaccio, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Wing D-2278. CBEL II: 263.' ' A collection of some twelve thousand verses, including paraphrases or translations of the first 'Iliad', some of Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', and tales from Chaucer and Boccaccio. There is also a poem 'To my Honoured Kinsman, John Driden', verses addressed to the Duchess of Ormond, and lines on 'A Fair Maiden lady who died at Bath' [the wife of Lord Abingdon]. The preface, written in fine prose, contains an excellent appreciation of Chaucer as well as attacks on Milbourne and Sir Richard Blackmore.' 21 p.l., 616 (i. e. 558) [2] p. 34 x 22 cm Dewey:

Contains much that does not relate to Pope Collected and published by E. Curll, bookseller, who was prosecuted for the publication. "It has now been fully proved that the publication ... was promoted by Pope himself, who wanted an excuse to print his letters."--Dic. nat. biog., v. 13, p. 329. cf. also v. 46, p. 119. Several additional volumes were published subsequently. " An interesting early edition of Pope's letters - especially for the controversy generated by the publication itself. Pope implied that Edmund Curll had purloined the letters by illegally obtaining copies from the recipients. The general opinion today is that Pope himself provided his correspondence to Curll but did not want to appear to be doing so since authors had never previously published their letters. Curll had been a notoriously unprincipled publisher and had to appear before the courts several times because of problems with the official censorship of the period. A number of interesting accounts of the relationship between Pope and Curll can be found on Google by entering "POPE CURLL" One of the more curious aspects of these volumes is Curll's use of increasingly acerbic diatribes and self-justifications in his prefaces to each of the succeeding volumes, in answer to the growing controversy. Here Curll exhibits a surprisingly modern sensibility, well out of keeping with anything else in the books, and, in fact, seems to anticipate the Marxism that would appear exactly 200 years later - Groucho's, that is. The set of four volumes have been uniformly rebound in patterned paper-covered boards and leather spines with leather labels printed with gilt.
