Originally published in 1988, this Anglo-American collaborative
volume, which appeared during the 300th anniversary of Alexander
Pope's birth in 1688, brings together contributions from a large
number of the most outstanding scholars in the field of Pope
studies. It is a comprehensive collective survey of the poet's life
and work. The essays centre on his poetry, while his life and
reputation, his translations and relation to the classical world,
and his attitudes to women are also discussed. There is a section
on landscape gardening and the villa at Twickenham, and another on
Pope and posterity. A diversity of approaches is represented, but
with recurrent themes and a general awareness of Pope's place in
the contemporary literary context. A major landmark in Pope
studies, this book provided a well-judged assessment, while
affirming and extending the poet's standing.
