Since the time of ancient Greece, the term has been used basicly to honor a person for a something great that they had accomplished in their lifetime. In ancient Greece, laurel was considered sacred. This was because of the events in a Greek myth. When Daphne was being chased by Apollo, she was turned into a laurel tree to escape. Because of this, Apollo declared that laurel was sacred and would be the emblem for poets and victors. This is poets of that time were crowned with a wreath of laurel. Athletes who won contests at the Olympic Games were also crowned with laurel. The term then carried over into medieval times. In universities at this time, students who won awards were crowned with laurel. Later in this period , the “poet laureate” was a special award that was given to students that excelled in Latin and with poetry. Soon, the word “laureate” changed meaning. It origionally meant “crowned with laurel”, but it soon came to mean “honored”. Before and during the rennicance in England, it was common for a poet to be present in a court. They were there to write poetry for special occasions. If the poet belonged to a royal court, he or she was usually paid for writing their poetry insead of being crowned with laurel. In the 1400’s, Geoffrey Chaucer was paid by Edward III to write poetry for the court. Along with this, he also recieved wine from Edward. Edmund Spenser had the same payment twoards him when he was the court poet for Elizabeth I. In 1616, James I created the office of court poet for Ben Jonson, and again the same payment was given. After Jonson’s death in 1638, Sir William Davenant took over this office until 1668. John Dryden was the first to receive the official title of poet laureate after Davenant’s death. The line has gone unbroken ever since, except for a four-year gap after the death of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in 1892. In the United States the official position of poet laureate was created much later. In 1985 Congress expanded the title of poetry consultant of the Library of Congress into that of poet laureate. Robert Penn Warren became the first to hold the post. The poet laureate receives a modest stipend and is expected to prepare one major poetic work during his or her tenure. Thomas Shadwell took the office next, and he served from 1689 to 1692. Nahum Tate came after that, and he served from 1692 to 1715. From 1715 to 1718, Nicholas Rowe took the office. Laurence Eusden was in office from 1718 to 1730. Afterwards, Colley Cibber took the office from 1730 to 1757. William Whitehead came after that, and he was in office from 1757 to 1785.

His essays, many of which are prefaces to his plays, constitute the first considerable volume of English literary criticism. In them he discusses the dramatic unities, blank verse, and the nature of satire and evaluates such authors as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Ben Jonson. Dryden is, however, still best known for his poetry, which Samuel Johnson compared metaphorically to the accomplishments of Rome under the emperor Augustus, when Horace, Ovid, and Vergil flourished. Dryden, in Johnson's metaphor, "embellished" English poetry: "he found it brick, and he left it marble." The metaphor rightly identifies Dryden with the AUGUSTAN AGE of English literature. It evokes the largeness--even the monumentality--of his poems, as well as their strength and polished elegance and, above all, their assured public Root Entryџџџџџџџџ РF dFiќЛЙ№#HЛ€CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџnWordDocumentџџџџџџџџhNObjectPoolџџџџР: jќЛР: jќЛџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ.§џџџўџџџўџџџўџџџ !"#$1&'()*+,-:/092345678@;<=>?DA%џџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџSummaryInformation(џџџџџџџџџџџџрџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџ ўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ13аЯрЁБс>ўџ Greece, laurel was considered sacred.

Dryden was born on Aug. 9, 1631, and he died on May 1, 1700. In this period he achieved a preeminence that supported his claim. He excelled in comedy, heroic tragedy, verse satire, translation, and literary criticism--genres that his contemporaries and later readers have defined as representative of the Restoration period. His considerable achievements assured Dryden's place in literary history and, through their influence on such writers as Alexander POPE, determined the course of literary history for the next generation. In 1657, Dryden wrote his first notable poem, "Heroic Stanzas," a memorial on the death of Oliver Cromwell, while serving briefly in the Commonwealth government; in 1660, however, he celebrated the restoration of Charles II in "Astraea Redux." He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1663. In 1667 he published "Annus Mirabilis," which described the English naval victory over the Dutch and praised the fortitude of the English people during the great fire of London (1666). Dryden was subsequently appointed poet laureate, a position that he lost in 1688 for political reasons. Dryden's major satires were published during his tenure as poet laureate. "Absalom and Achitophel" (1681) attacked Puritan attempts to deny the throne to the legitimate heir, satirized the first earl of Shaftsbury, and proved Dryden a master of the heroic couplet. "Mac Flecknoe" (1682), a satire on Dryden's literary enemy, Thomas SHADWELL, and "The Medal" (1682), another blow against Shaftsbury and the Whigs, followed. Dryden's shifting religious affiliations are reflected in "Religio Laici" (A Layman's Religion, 1682), a poem defending the Anglican church, and in "The Hind and the Panther" (1687), a defense of Catholicism, to which he converted at a politically inauspicious time.
