Synopsis
Excerpt from English Narrative Poems
Akin to the Epic is the Mock Epic, which appropri ates the Epic machinery and Epic style to use them in dealing with trivialities. In Pope's The Rape of the Lock, the most artistic Mock Epic in English, the theft of a single lock of hair becomes an act of national and supernatural interest and a game of cards is described as if it were a mighty battle.
