Description

This antiquarian volume contains a collection of Alexander Pope's poetry, including: "Windsor Forest", "The Rape of the Lock", "Epistle to Burlington", "The Dunciad", and many others. Widely hailed as the most influential of the early eighteenth century poets, Alexander Pope was an invalid from his infancy, and directed his energy towards literary efforts, writing poetry that illustrated his masterful ability and prolific insight into the human condition. Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744) was an eighteenth century English poet, best known for his satirical verse and translation of Homer. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
