The Rape of the Lock and Other Poems (Signet Classics)

Presented here are many of Popeâ€™s principal works, including the delightful mock-epic,Â The Rape of the Lock, Windsor Forest, Essay on Man, EloÃ¯sa to Abelard, Essay on Criticism,Â and his satirical masterpiece,Â The Dunciad. Together, they represent the writings of one of the Enlightenmentâ€™s greatest poets.Â

Alexander Pope enjoyed in his lifetime a fame and fortune that few poets have received. Known for his brilliant epigrams, he was an uncompromising social critic and razor-sharp satirist of fashionable societyâ€™s foibles. His poetry was characterized by a graceful mastery of the English language, a biting wit, and a moral alertness that ranged from contemptuous to compassionate to dryly humorous. Considered Englandâ€™s greatest living poet by the age of 25, Pope would be hailed by Lord Byron as â€œthe greatest name in our Poetry.â€
