    About this ebook

    This scholarly text is concerned with the character and work of Alexander Pope and with satiric verse. Pope belonged to a group called the Scriblerians of which Jonathon Swift was also a member. Pope had been savagely lampooned and criticized and this book contains two poems: one entitled 'An Epistle to the Dunces' (being those who had so savagely criticized Pope}; and the second a poem called 'The Difference Between Verbal and Practical Virtue' in which another admonishment is meted out to Pope's critics.
