- Title
`LUCID INTERVALS' YET AGAIN: DRYDEN, HORACE, AND COWLEY.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article examines the usage of "lucid intervals" in seventeenth century literature by literary critics. The phrases "lucid interval" and "lucida intervalla" were in common use in the seventeenth century. Moreover, literary critic James Ogden points out that since the poem "Mac Flecknoe," was almost certainly written in 1676, it is unlikely that poet and critic John Dryden could have intended the phrase "lucid interval" to allude to "Lucida Intervalla," the collection of poems written by James Carkesse while an asylum inmate, and first published in l679.
