"Including The rape of the lock and The Dunciad"--Cover.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

"Alexander Pope has often been termed the first true professional poet in English, whose dealings with the book trade helped to produce the literary marketplace of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this representative selection of Pope's most important work, the texts are presented in chronological sequence so that the Moral Essays and Imitations of Horace are restored to their original position in his career. This edition represents the single most comprehensive anthology of Pope's works. The Duncaid, The Rape of the Lock, Imitations of Horace, and Peri Bathous, or, The art of sinking in poetry are presented in full, together with a characteristic sample of Pope's prose, including satires, pamphlets, and periodical writing. This edition also includes a further reading list, an invaluable biographical index as well as indexes of titles, first lines, and correspondences"--Provided by publisher.

Rogers, Pat, 1938-
