The Dunciad in Four Books of 1743 was the culmination of the series
of Dunciads which Alexander Pope produced over the last decade and
a half of his life. It comprises not only a poem, but also a mass
of authorial annotation and appendices, and this authoritative
edition is the only one available which gives all the verse and the
prose in a clearly laid-out form, with a full modern commentary.
Accessibly presented on the same page as Pope's text are
explanatory notes, written in a style adapted to the needs of
undergraduate readers, but still comprehensive enough to address
the interests of scholars. The many books and pamphlets to which
Pope refers have been examined in detail, and the commentary takes
advantage of the fifty years' scholarship on literary,
bibliographical, cultural and political aspects of the period which
has accumulated since James Sutherland's The Dunciad, volume five
of the Twickenham Edition. A substantial introduction offers a
stimulating and helpful approach to the work, and the bibliography
includes extensive suggestions for further reading.
