The Poems of Alexander Pope is a multi-volume edition of the poetry
of Alexander Pope (1688-1744) resulting from a thorough reappraisal
of his work, from composition through to reception. The annotations
and headnotes are full and informative, and the layout is designed
to enable the reader to navigate easily between the poems, the
record of variants and the editorial commentary. The poems are
presented in chronological order of publication, with original
capitalisation, italicisation, punctuation and spelling preserved.
A record of variants to each poem illustrates the changes Pope made
in subsequent editions, and full editorial annotation sets the
poems in appropriate literary, historical and cultural contexts.
This volume contains the poetry that appeared between 1709 and
1714, including the Pastorals and the 'Rape of the Locke'. Much of
the publication history of these poems shows Pope collaborating
with the major writers and publishers of his time, as might be
expected of a writer whose preparation for a literary career was so
meticulous. But Pope was also beginning to establish himself on his
own account, publishing (at first anonymously) a substantial
statement of ideas, An Essay on Criticism. Another separate
pamphlet, Windsor-Forest, constituted his distinctive contribution
to the heavy freight of 'Peace' poems prompted by the Treaty of
Utrecht. In all, the poems presented in this volume reveal an
engagement with the literary and publishing industry that is at
once amenable and independent.
