Jack Lynch edits the annual devoted to the "Age of" this writer. One of his essays claims men should be jarred from procrastination by the "certainty that life cannot be long, and the probability that it will be much shorter than nature allows," while another ridicules the education of critic Dick Minim. His major critical work claims "Lycidas" had "no art, for there is nothing new," begins with an essay on Richard Savage, and popularized the term "metaphysical poetry" in a section on Cowley. He commented that "Nothing odd will do long" regarding Tristram Shandy and wrote that Shakespeare lacked a "moral purpose," because he was a "poet of nature," in the Preface to his 1765 edition of the Bard's work. For 10 points, name this author of the Lives of the English Poets, who compiled a Dictionary of the English Language.
