In this concise introduction to Pope's life and work, first
published in 1975, the poet's highly successful career as a man of
letters is seen against the background of the Augustan age as a
whole. Pat Rogers begins by examining the relationship of the
eighteenth-century writer to his audience, and discusses the role
of style and versification in this. The book covers the whole of
Pope's work and includes not only the translations of Homer and
such minor poems as The Temple of Fame, but also the prose, both
drama and correspondence. Based on extensive research, this book
will provide literature students with a greater appreciation and
understanding of Pope's verse and the ways in which he addressed
his eighteenth-century context in his work.
