Despite Edward Niles Hooker's magisterial Critical Works of John Dennis (1939-43), Dennis (1657-1734) has barely avoided the trash heap of history. 1 The Augustan dramatist and critic has only occasionally succeeded since then in transcending the pages of Hooker's excellent edition, and studies of his work still remain limited by Pope's having so effectively reduced him to a minor blotch on the little Queen Anne Man's far more brilliant career. 2 Like all of the other hapless writers entombed in the Dunciad, Dennis has survived primarily as the butt of Pope and his fellow Scribblerians' jokes or, at best, as a minor figure requiring the stronger ally of a canonized author to gain entrance into modern criticism. Indeed, the most recent discussion of Dennis (1998) treats him primarily in relation to Pope's Essay on Criticism. 3 But Dennis's own varied and thoughtful career in literary criticism, as Hooker realized, still deserves more careful attention in its own right
