The picaresque tale of the vitriolic, highly public quarrel between the poet Alexander Pope and the publisher Edmund Curll.

This is the first study to assess the entire career of Alexander Pope (1688-1744) in relation to the political issues of his time.

A study of one of the earliest major poems by Alexander Pope, this text reveals how he used the artistic conventions of the Stuart court - masque, architecture and heraldry - to create the last great Renaissance poem in English. The text shows the centrality of ?Windsor-Forest? in Pope's career and the centrality of Pope in the debates of his time.

Leading literary historian and eighteenth-century specialist Pat Rogers has long been recognized as an authority on Alexander Pope. This book - presenting a substantial new essay alongside considerably revised versions of previous articles - addresses the many facets of Pope's world and work.
