Genius to Improve an Invention: Literary Transitions

This volume derives its title from John Dryden's phrase for the British tendency to take up literary masterpieces from the past and ""perfect"" them. It adopts Dryden's notion as a framework for exploring ways in which classical and medieval texts have been rewritten by modern authors.
