Alexander Pope (1688 1744) is one of the greatest poets in European
literature, comparable to the likes of likes of Shakespeare,
Chaucer, Keats and Wordsworth. He is not easy to read though: his
poetry uses dense literary and contemporary contextual allusions.
This is why a book that gets the readers to the meaning of his
poetry as painlessly as possible is so important. This is the third
volume (the first to be published) in the four volume The Poems of
Pope. It features the complete text of Pope's most significant
poem, The Dunciad. The first-rate annotations that accompany this
edition of the poem provide information on matters of
interpretation and give details of allusions that might prove
baffling to the contemporary reader.
