D[ryden]’s lit[erary] patriotism [is] genuine, but he made good use of it to cover up the “bittiness” of his own plays. He could always point to the “bittiness” of Shakespeare and does not realize that though Shakespeare wrote tragi-comedies and indulged in double plots, he nevertheless attained an unity of his own, an unity that is missed in e.g. The Spanish Fryar.
text: Each thing was seen on its own. The walls had to be a most tender shade of washed out coral. And the carpet had to be the kind of green that is almost grey, the flowers were arranged bowl by bowl, vase by vase, and though each was lovely in itself, there was no general beauty in the room. ¶ Unknown to her the ‘bittiness’ that resulted gave to the salon a certain informality far from her intentions.
