Description
Alexander Pope's greatest works are collected in this Penguin Classics edition, featuring an introduction by Leo Damrosch. The collection spans Pope's lifetime, showcasing his poetic genius and acerbic insights into human nature. The selection includes early poems such as the masterful mock-epic 'The Rape of the Lock', which satirizes a notorious society scandal through glorious heroic couplets, alongside later works like Pope's ironic adaptations of Horace's Epistles and Satires. The edition also features selected prose works and letters from Pope to his contemporaries. This edition provides a wide-ranging introduction that elucidates Pope's life, poetic art, and contemporary contexts, as well as separate introductions to each piece, a chronology, further reading, a biography, and extensive notes.
