Alexander Pope in The Reign of Queen Anne
This is the first collection of essays since George Sherburn's landmark monograph The Early Career of Alexander Pope (1934) to reconsider how the most important and influential poet of eighteenth-century Britain fashioned his early career. It focuses, in particular, on his interaction with the courtly culture constellated round the Queen. The volume covers Pope's writings from across the reign of Queen Anne and just beyond.
In doing so, it comprehensively reconsiders anew the ways in which Pope, increasingly supportive of It examines, for instance, his representations of Queen Anne herself, his portrayals of politics and patronage under her reign, his negotiations with current literary theory, with the classical tradition, with chronologically distant yet also contemporaneous English poets, with current thought on the passions, and with membership of a religious minority.
