The Art of Poetry and Lutrin
Following on the footsteps of Horace's Ars Poetica , Boileau's Art of Poetry lays down, in four books dealing with all forms and genres of poetry, the codes and rules for good versification. This beautiful translation, made even more precious by Dryden's polishing touch, proved to have a lasting influence on the future shape of English literature - among others, it was imitated magnificently by Pope in his Essay on Criticism, who also took Lutrin as a model for his own masterpiece, The Rape of the Lock.
