I think that the post Poet Laureat and the dates for which he was poet laureat should be included in the wiki-box at the top. Could anyone add this to all of the poet laureats?Hectorguinness (talk) 14:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
(Crossposted to anon's talk page.) Hi, 140.180.165.138, I see you added the year 1667 for the Essay of Dramatick Poesie to the text (though you left 1668 in the list of works). 1668 is the year usually given for the first edition of the EDP, do you have other information?--Bishonen | Talk 05:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Plutarch
Um, now, my history might be a BIT off, for all I know, but I'm pretty sure John Dryden was not, in fact, written about by Plutarch. On account of Plutarch being a SLIGHTLY earlier figure than Mr. Drydan. So what's with the plutarch thing at the bottom of the page? AndrewLB 06:44, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- He was a well-known translator of Plutarch (see the last little box in the Plutarch template). scribblingwoman 12:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] John Dryden Public School in Whitby, Ontario
The school in Whitby is probably named after their local politician, profiled at [[1]] rather than this poet. The link offered in the article goes to a dead URL but the Internet Archive shows that the link mearly listed the name of the school, no attribution.
