'The best thing to come from this collection is a sense of Pope less as a combative satirist than as a private and religious individual, whose love of 'romantic' (his word) landscapes infused much of what he wrote' -David Nokes, Times Literary SupplementPope's letters reveal the life, colour, personalities, and ideas of his time. They show his poetry in the making, and they also show Pope in the process of fashioning his own life. This selection features especially some of the letters that he revised and re-directed before publishing them himself. It also includes many recently discovered letters, here collected for the first time, which throw new light on his character, relationships, and taste. The first selection of Pope's correspondence for nearly fifty years, this volume also provides an introduction, detailed commentary, and biographical index.
