The Poetical Works of Alexander Pope, Vol. 3 of 4 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a poetic satire of the writings of some of England's most famous and influential authors as well as a sharp critique of the prevailing literary and critical opinions of the time. At once playful and acerbic, the author parodies the work of John Dryden, Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, and many others, highlighting their perceived flaws. By turns witty and pointed, the book offers a glimpse into the literary world of the 18th century through the eyes of a writer who felt that genuine talent was being sidelined by flattery and self-interested cliques. With its exploration of the nature of fame, the relationship between art and commerce, and the dangers of excessive adulation, the book remains a relevant and slyly amusing work for our time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334381645_0
