Rewritten, to take account of the Pope studies and criticism published since the first edition appeared in 1976. Errors have been corrected, and sections revised and expanded where the author's views have changed. Part Two now contains introductory essays to a number of Pope's major poems.

It offers a critical survey of his work and also contains introductory essays. The book concludes with a reference section which includes indispensible information on places and people in Pope''s poetry, together with a glossary of technical terms and a guide to further reading.
