Transcription
Dennis sends a copy of the first volume of one of his current projects. He solicits Sloane’s opinion. John Dennis was a literary critic, dramatist, and prolific writer. His ‘The Advancement and Reformation of Modern Poetry’ of 1701 was an influential work of literary criticism. Dennis was prone to public spats with other critics and lost friends as a result (Jonathan Pritchard, Dennis, John (16581734), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/7503, accessed 18 July 2013]).
