Reminding readers of John Dryden's persistent use of occult rhetoric, Armistead argues that Dryden's otherworldliness involves more than Christian apologetics, biblical typology, or intermittent borrowings from the supernatural materials in classical literature. Otherworldly John Dryden engages with a wide range of the writer's poetry and plays, enhancing our understanding of Dryden's works and tracing the writer's attitudes about Providence and the ability of the poet to perceive a hidden design in earthly events.
