Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Alexander Pope, Vol. 4 of 9: With Notes and Illustrations The general reader is apt to pass lightly over the "Dunciad," as if it were merely the poetical record of a literary quarrel between Pope and a number of obscure writers, of whom little is known, and less deserves to be remembered. And, from a moral point of view, this judgment is sound enough, but it requires to be considerably qualified. Those who look beneath the surface will find in this Satire a very remarkable picture of human nature, exhibiting, as it does, the friendships, the hatreds, the sensibilities, the deceptions, no less than the art, of a great poet, and throwing, at the same time, a strong light on an interesting epoch in our political, social, and literary history. Pope´s workmanship is here even more than usually minute; his slightest touches are intended to heighten his general effects; and if we would do him full justice, we must give to understanding his work something of the pains which he spent on producing it.
