Alexander Pope's Poetical Works Vol. II

Viac o knihe

Volume II features notable works by Alexander Pope, including "The Rape of the Lock," a mock-epic poem that humorously elevates a trivial high-society scandal to the level of epic grandeur. Renowned for its sharp wit and mastery of heroic couplets, this piece exemplifies Pope's skill in satire and offers a clever commentary on social norms and conflicts of his time.
