The Poems of Alexander Pope is a comprehensive and meticulously curated collection of the poetry of Alexander Pope (1688–1744). This multi-volume edition emerged from a thorough reassessment of Pope's work, encompassing his composition process and the reception of his poetry. The annotations and headnotes provide extensive and informative insights, while the layout facilitates seamless navigation between the poems, variant records, and editorial commentary. The poems are presented in chronological order of publication, preserving their original capitalisation, italicisation, punctuation, and spelling. A comprehensive record of variants for each poem illustrates the changes Pope made in subsequent editions, while full editorial annotation contextualises the poems within literary, historical, and cultural frameworks.
This volume encompasses the poetry published between 1709 and 1714, including the renowned Pastorals and the 'Rape of the Locke.' Throughout the publication history of these poems, Pope collaborated with prominent writers and publishers, reflecting his meticulous preparation for a literary career. However, Pope was also beginning to establish himself as an independent author, publishing anonymously a significant statement of ideas titled An Essay on Criticism. Additionally, Windsor-Forest, a separate pamphlet, showcased his distinctive contribution to the 'Peace poems' inspired by the Treaty of Utrecht.
In total, the poems presented in this volume reveal Pope's engagement with the literary and publishing industry as both receptive and independent. His poetic works showcase his profound intellect, wit, and societal commentary, leaving an enduring legacy in the world of poetry.
