Introduction
• About Dryden and his Essay
Controversy
• Ancient and Modern controversy.• It reminds us
“The Battle of the Books” by Swift.
Cases for Ancient
• Ancients gave base to Moderns.
• Their greatness in drama and poetry.
• Healthy competition between ancient writers.
• Strong and impartial criticism.• In modern time, the qualities of writers
remain hidden.• Ancients were best as well as full of
morality.
• Ancients closely observed nature and put her with her whole beauty.
• While moderns distort nature.
• Ancients gave rules for dramatic composition.• Moderns take help of these rules.• Ancients strictly followed three unities.• “Three unities of time, place and action ought to
be observed in every regular play.”- Crites • Moderns disturb those unities.• The last thing: Ancients gave well structured
works. We cannot appreciate them in totality because their language is dead.
• It is fact that they were higher than Moderns in many ways.
