How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Essay on Man and Other Poems by Alexander Pope "Considered the preeminent verse satirist in English, Alexander Pope (1688-1744) brought wide learning, devastating wit and masterly technique to his poems. Models of clarity and control, they exemplified the classical poetics of the Augustan age.This volume contains a rich selection of Pope's work, including such well-known poems as the title selection-a philosophical meditation on the nature of the universe and man's place in it-and ""The Rape of the Lock,"" a mock-epic of rare charm and skill. Also included are ""Ode on Solitude,"" ""The Dying Christian to His Soul,"" ""Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady,"" ""An Essay on Criticism,"" ""Epigram Engraved on the Collar of a Dog,"" ""Epistle to Richard Boyle, Earl of Burlington: Of the Use of Riches,"" ""Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot; or, Prologue to the Satires"" and more.Taken together, these poems offer an excellent sampling of Pope's imaginative genius and the felicitous blending of word, idea and image that earned him a place among the leading lights of 18th-century literature."

Book Description
The first study dedicated to the relationship between Alexander Pope and George Berkeley, this book undertakes a comparative reading of their work on the visual environment, economics and providence, challenging current ideas of the relationship between poetry and philosophy in early eighteenth-century Britain. It shows how Berkeley's idea that the phenomenal world is the language of God, learnt through custom and experience, can help to explain some of Pope's conservative sceptical arguments, and also his virtuoso poetic techniques.
