In this book, Pope explores the importance of good taste, the value of tradition, and the need for balance and harmony in literature. He also discusses the dangers of excessive criticism, the pitfalls of imitation, and the importance of originality and creativity. Written in Pope's elegant and witty style, this essay remains a timeless work of literary criticism that is still widely read and studied today.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thk task of editing any portion of Pope swritings has been ao much lightened by the labours of four -generations of commentators that there is now very little room for original research, or for any important additions either in the way of commentary or illustration. I have had before me the editions of Warburton, Warton, Bowles, Eoscoe, Elwin, and Couithope, the notes of Wakefield, Conington sinteresting essay, and I am indebted to them all, but especially to Mr. Elwin snotes and to Mr. Courthopo sexcellent Life of Pope. As this edition is designed mainly for the use of students, both in England and in the Colonies, the notes are very copious, but I have endeavoured to make them as succinct and relevant as I could. I have, I hope, left no passage or even word, likely to present any dii Hculty, unexplained. It has been necessary to quot somewhat freely from ancient classical authors, but where quotations have been given they have always been translated.
