John Dryden was a 17th-century English poet who was known as England's very first Poet Laureate and would lead England into a literary period that would become known as the Age of Dryden. He also established standard forms of English poetry though his satires, fables, epigrams, poems, and plays.
'Fables, Ancient and Modern' is Dryden's translations of some of the most famous and iconic works of ancient literature.
