With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

The victim is the beautiful, innocent Belinda, her attacker is the dastardly Baron, and his weapon of choice is a pair of scissors... Pope's mock-epic is the sharp and witty tale of the most famous bad hair day in the history of literature.

This book contains Alexander Pope’s seminal interpretation of the original Homeric poem, published serially from 1715 to 1720.

Alexander Pope's translation of The Iliad. Illustrated by Flaxman. With notes by Rev. Theodore Alois Buckley, M.A., F.S.A.

Fans of literary lampoonery will delight in the no-holds-barred, scorched-earth satire that British poet Alexander Pope unleashes in his witty masterpiece, The Dunciad.
