Heroic drama

John Dryden, who formulated and wrote the heroic drama in the 1670s.

Heroic drama is a type of play popular during the Restoration era in England, distinguished by both its verse structure and its subject matter.[1][2] The subgenre of heroic drama evolved through several works of the middle to later 1660s; John Dryden's The Indian Emperour (1665) and Roger Boyle's The Black Prince (1667) were key developments.
