Publisher's Synopsis
A New Book Of The Dunciad: Occasioned By Mr. Warburton�������s New Edition Of The Dunciad Complete (1750) is a literary work by William Dodd. The book is a satirical response to the publication of Mr. Warburton's new edition of The Dunciad Complete, which was a poem by Alexander Pope that mocked the literary and intellectual mediocrity of his time. Dodd's work is a continuation of Pope's satire and targets the same group of writers, scholars, and intellectuals who are deemed unworthy of their positions and accomplishments. The book is written in verse and is filled with witty and scathing commentary on the state of literature and intellectualism in 18th century England. It is a valuable piece of literature for anyone interested in the history of satire and the intellectual culture of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
