Documenting Eighteenth Century Satire
Pope, Swift, Gay, and Arbuthnot in Historical Context
This historicized view of Augustan satire shows how works by Pope, Swift, and Gay can be “documented” to reveal richer meanings. Drawing on unpublished sources, it uncovers a literary hoax, new links, and interprets a virtually unknown poem.
