Alexander Pope's Books
It's more like I understand the essay so little. Oh well at least I've read it. Maybe one day I'll be able to understand it betterUPDATE: this study guide helps a little
Didn't read everything in this, but the works I covered (An Essay on Criticism, An Essay on Man, The Rape of the Lock, Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady, Eloisa to Abelard, To Richard Boyle) were pretty nice. I'll probably come back for Dunciad later.Endnotes were on my nerve as always, so ...
I liked the idea of the audio book, but I was disappointed to find the reader talked about the poetry, reciting only a few lines of each poem rather than reading the entire poem. My cat appreciated the bird songs, though.
We read excerpts of this. It was...uh....interesting to say the least.
I should read this someday too.
