Quarter cloth and boards, 4to, lxxvi, 223 pp, plates. From the introduction: "This edition of book-trade correspondence grew from an interest in the relationship between Alexander Pope (1688-1744), his editor William Warburton (1698 1779) and their London bookseller John Knapton (1696 1770). Pope liked to form 'triumvirates', as he had done with Swift and Bolingbroke, and his last major one was formed with Knapton and Warburton. The culmination of this triumvirate's efforts was the 1751 edition of The Works of Alexander Pope Esq.edited by Warburton and published by John Knapton. Warburton's extant correspondence with Knapton starts in 1747, continues through the first five posthumous editions of Pope's Works (1751 -4) and ends with the near-failing of the Knapton business in 1755. Other letters coinciding with and overlapping the Warburton-Knapton correspondence have been added to shed light on the book trade at a time of change. In an era of uncertainty over copyright legislation, Warburton and Knapton had to consider carefully the problems of Scottish reprints and translation rights. My overall intention has been to explore a hitherto unexamined relationship between an editor and his bookseller and to give a broader impression of Warburton as an editor, a book buyer and an author in his own right. Warburton's letters shed light on the preparation, publication and reception of one of the most important, controversial and lucrative editions of the mid-eighteenth century." Near Fine.
