Description
Many guides to the work of Alexander Pope have been written, but this guide is unique in offering a comprehensive introduction to not only his works but the contexts from which they emerged and the critical debates they have engendered. As with all guides in this series, student readers are equipped and encouraged to make their own critical readings. Paul Baines provides a broad overview and carefully explains the full range of often very different critical interpretations. Cross-references between sections and guides to further reading suggest numerous possibilities for further study.
First Sentence
Because Pope was not primarily a lyric poet like Donne, or an explorer of private mental experience like Wordsworth, we tend to think of him as essentially a public voice, the satirist of civil follies rather than the analyst of personal emotions.
