This authoritative edition was first published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Pope's poetry and prose - the major poems in their entirety, together with translations, criticism, letters and other prose - to give the essence of his work and thinking. This edition covers Pope's most significant poems, and combines them with useful secondary material from key letters and essays. The edition is also good for making links to Pope's interest in the Classical world.
