What can a study of Pope tell us about the eighteenth century?
Was Pope the poet of reason, or an anti-establishment prophet?
So many questions surround the key figures in the English literary canon, but most books focus on one aspect of an author's life or work, or limit themselves to a single critical approach, "The Complete Critical Guide to Alexander Pope" is part of a unique series of comprehensive, user-friendly introductions which:
offers basic information on an author's life, contexts, and works
outline the major critical issues surrounding the author's works, from the time they were written to the present
leave judgments up to you, by explaining the full range of often very difficult critical views and interpretations
offer guides to further reading in each area discussed.
This series has a broad focus but one very clear aim: to equip you with " all"the knowledge you need to make your own new readings of crucial literary texts.

Industry Reviews

"A series on which Routledge is to be congratulated." -Amy Freeman, University of Washington, for Contemporary Review "This series offers a powerful and timely synthesis of literary history and close reading informed by up-to-date scholarship and contemporary theory: concise and remarkably comprehensive introductions to the life, work and criticism of specific writers." -Professor Rob Pope, Department of English Studies, Oxford Brookes University. ""The Complete Critical Guides to English Literature abound in references to the cultural context of each work and to its past and present reception by the public. They take into account a plurality of critical perspectives: beyond mere information, they include a concise and stimulating presentation of the state of criticism nowadays." -Professor D. M. Degrois, Universite de Paris III
