For many years the editors of the Modern Library have sought the means by which the representative writings of Alexander Pope could be brought within the compass of a single, com-pact volume. Now, under the supervision of Louis Kronenberger, distinguished critic and authority on the eighteenth century, the poems, essays, odes, satires, pastorals, epigrams, epitaphs and epistles have been selected for the delight of the modern reader. Here are, complete and unabridged, "The Dunciad," "Essay on Man," "Essay on Criticism," "The Rape of the Lock" and a generous offering of miscellanies. Mr. Kronenberger's Introduction is a brilliant essay on Pope's influence in his own time and in ours.
