In Tradition and Emancipation, Japanese scholar Megumi Ohsumi
explores the mimetic encounters of classical material across
Alexander Pope's poetry. Focusing particularly on Pope's Horatian
Imitations, Ohsumi attempts to identify the extent to which mimesis
plays a role in Pope's oeuvre. Horace has remained one of the
central Roman figures in classical tradition, and Renaissance
humanism propelled Western European writers to explore his life and
career and weave them into their own creative accounts. Poets could
easily identify with Horace, and they turned to him for channels
through which to intimate ideological strife and vicissitudes of
life, often as dislocated individuals in their native lands. While
retaining interauthorial quality in his textual output, Pope
metamorphoses into his own independent self as artist and poet as
he evinces a renewed hope for his contemporary England. Ohsumi
attempts to maintain a phenomenological outlook in delving deeper
than surface appearance, so as to avoid reductionism in the
endeavor to penetrate Pope's intentions and perceptions.
