Description
A landmark poetic political satire by John Dryden, Absalom and Achitophel is an allegory that explores the background to significant events in 17th-century England.
The poem uses the story of Absalom's rebellion against King David as a basis for discussion of the Monmouth Rebellion, the Popish Plot, and the Exclusion Crisis. Written in a unique blend of poetry and politics, this work offers insight into the complex issues of its time.
