An 18th-Century Augustan Poetry Collection of Mock-Epic Satire, Heroic Couplets, and Philosophical Verse

This essential collection gathers major verse by 18th-century English Augustan master Alexander Pope. Masterpiece mock-epic "The Rape of the Lock" satirizes high-society vanity through the theft of Belinda's lock of hair, while "An Essay on Man" presents a philosophical exploration of human nature and divine order.

"Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot" serves as Pope's sharp autobiographical defense of poetic satire against contemporary literary critics.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Experience the brilliance of Augustan poetry and the heroic couplet from master satirist Alexander Pope. Essential reading for students of 18th-century literature, satire, and British poetry classics.
