Focusing on the neoclassical ideals of the eighteenth century, this collection showcases the works of Alexander Pope, a master of poetic satire and the English heroic couplet. It features notable pieces like "The Rape of The Lock," which humorously critiques epic poetry, and "An Essay on Man," which explores the relationship between humanity and divinity. Additionally, "The Dunciad" satirizes literary mediocrity through the personification of Dullness. With over forty poems, this edition highlights Pope's enduring influence on English literature.
