Routledge Revivals- New Light on Pope

First published in 1949, New Light on Pope is a collection of new poems by one of the greatest poets; new facts about his life and work; new judgements on his quarrels; new evidence of his loyalty to his friends; and new solutions of old problems. First published in 1949, New Light on Pope is a collection of new poems by one of the greatest poets; new facts about his life and work; new judgements on his quarrels; new evidence of his loyalty to his friends; and new solutions of old problems. These discoveries made during twenty years of intermittent research are presented in this volume which has already been declared by a well-known biographer of the poet definitely to establish Pope once for all as the man he was. Other names, beside Pope’s, figure in the present work; and people like Addison, Swift, Gay, and Cibber, to mention only the best known, are seen in actions and attitudes which will be unfamiliar even to eighteenth century specialists.
