Reading Pope's Imitations of Horace

Front Cover
Bucknell University Press, 1989 - Literary Criticism - 168 pages
This study reclaims Pope's meaning in each successive imitation by focusing on the differences between Horace's Latin poems and Pope's English versions. It considers not only Pope's expression of concerns about his own world but also the contemporary reputation of the Roman Augustan Age and of Augustus and Horace.
