Dryden And Congreve’S Collaboration in The Double Dealer

Abstract I want to thank my colleagues at Rhodes, Gail Murray, Sandra McEntire, and Brian Shaffer, for their steadfast support and intellectual help during the writing of this essay, and the editors of this volume for their painstaking reading of it at a later stage. I want also to thank my dear friends Earl Miner, for giving me my first break in Dryden studies, and Andy Silber, who sparked my interest in Dryden some thirty years ago.
