Pope's Mythologies - Alexander Pope and Myth in the Early British Enlightenment (Hardcover)

This is the first book to discuss the canon of Pope's verse in relation to Early British Enlightenment thinking about mythology and mythography. The book shows how Pope did not merely use classical and non-classical myths but also translated and refashioned them too. It situates Pope's mythologies within changing seventeenth and eighteenth-century understandings of what myth is and what it could be. It therefore offers a distinct a new perspective on the career of eighteenth-century Britain's preeminent poet.
