Opis: Complete Critical Guide to Alexander Pope - Paul Baines, Anthony Baines

Many guides to the work of Alexander Pope have been written, but this guide is unique in offering a comprehensive introduction to not only his works but the contexts from which they emerged and the critical debates they have engendered. As with all guides in this series, student readers are equipped and encouraged to make their own critical readings. Paul Baines provides a broad overview and carefully explains the full range of often very different critical interpretations. Cross-references between sections and guides to further reading suggest numerous possibilities for further study. "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
