This is the first collection of essays since George Sherburn's
landmark monograph The Early Career of Alexander Pope (1934) to
reconsider how the most important and influential poet of
eighteenth-century Britain fashioned his early career. The volume
covers Pope's writings from across the reign of Queen Anne and just
beyond. It focuses, in particular, on his interaction with the
courtly culture constellated round the Queen. It examines, for
instance, his representations of Queen Anne herself, his portrayals
of politics and patronage under her reign, his negotiations with
current literary theory, with the classical tradition, with
chronologically distant yet also contemporaneous English poets,
with current thought on the passions, and with membership of a
religious minority. In doing so, it comprehensively reconsiders
anew the ways in which Pope, increasingly supportive of Anne's rule
and mindful of the Virgilian rota, sought at first to realise his
authorial aspirations.
