`One of the monuments of modern literary scholarship in its more genial aspect, the Twickenham edition of the poetry of Alexander Pope has remained the standard edition for more than a generation. It is an indispensable resource for anyone who wishes to enjoy the works of one of England's greatest poets in a form that is both reliable and readable, with introductions and commentary that genuinely illuminate the historical contexts in which Pope wrote more than two and a half centuries ago.' - Martin Battestin, University of Virginia

`The Twickenham Pope transcends its own status as a universally cited classic edition indispensable to every reader of eighteenth-century literature because the superb index transforms it into a virtual encyclopedia of information about the people, places and things of Augustan England and because it so richly embodies the post-World War II attitude towards the period that its introductions, notes, and apparatus are now primary materials in the history of eighteenth-century studies' - John Bender, Stanford University California
