Description:

Presents the poetry of Alexander Pope (1688-1744) resulting from a reappraisal of his work, from composition through to reception. This work embodies his own practice in repsect of capitalisation, italics and spelling. It includes the poetry that appeared from 1730 up until Pope's death in 1744, including the great "Essay on Man".

Synopsis:

Alexander Pope (1688-1744) is one of the greatest poets in European literature, comparable to the likes of likes of Shakespeare, Chaucer, Keats and Wordsworth. He is not easy to read though: his poetry uses dense literary and contemporary contextual allusions. This is why a book that gets the readers to the meaning of his poetry as painlessly as possible is so important. This volume features the complete text of Pope's most significant poem, The Dunciad. The first-rate annotations that accompany this edition of the poem provide information on matters of interpretation and give details of allusions that might prove baffling to the contemporary reader.
