Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1682, Anti-Achitophel is a searing attack on the notorious politician and writer John Dryden. Samuel Pordage, a little-known poet, accuses Dryden of hypocrisy, plagiarism, and moral decay, among other sins.

Dryden himself is portrayed as Shimei: 'Sweet was the Muse that did his wit inspire, Had he not let his hackney Muse to hire' (p. 29).
