Joseph Spence (1699 1768) was ordained after graduating from
Oxford, and having made the acquaintance of Alexander Pope, was
helped by him to the professorship of poetry at Oxford, which he
held for ten years from 1728. At the same time (and while holding
the living of Birchanger in Essex) he began the first of several
extended European journeys, accompanying nobility on the Grand
Tour. He had published various literary works before his death in
1768, but left a number of manuscripts to be published at the
discretion of his executors. They decided to take no action, but
these anecdotes of Alexander Pope and his contemporaries came into
the possession of a bookseller called Carpenter, who had them
edited, and published them, prefaced with a life of Spence, in
1820. This is a fascinating compilation of anecdotes, aphorisms and
biographical details about the most famous poet of his age."
