Description

Leading literary historian and eighteenth-century specialist Pat Rogers has long been recognized as an authority on Alexander Pope. This book addresses the many facets of the poet's world and work, presenting a substantial new essay on "Pope and the antiquarians" alongside considerably revised versions of essays published in journals, which together cover most of Pope's major writing. Essays on Pope gathers for the first time the best work on this celebrated author by one of the foremost critics, and is an indispensable resource for scholars of eighteenth-century literature.

Reviews

"...one is reminded of how much of Rogers's work has been antiquarian in the best sense, the collecting of facts that help us collect our thoughts." John Sitter, SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
