The Poems of Alexander Pope: A Reduced Version of the Twickenham Text (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780300000306)

"At last we have easily available a one-volume edition of Pope's poems, with a dependable text and modern annotation. . . . Superb."--Johnsonian Newsletter

A splendid presentation of Pope's poems, excluding only his translations of Homer, this is the only one-volume edition that can lay claim to completeness and accuracy of text. It presents the corpus of Pope's poetry as printed in the highly praised Twickenham Edition, except for the 1712 version of The Rape of the Lock and other early versions of phrases preserved in the critical apparatus of the six-volume work. Pope's own notes to his poems are included, as well as a generous selection of the copious annotation in the Twickenham text. This reduced version of the unsurpassed standard edition of Pope will be of great value to all students and teachers of English literature.
