Publisher's Synopsis

Satires And Epistles is a collection of poems written by the renowned English poet Alexander Pope, originally published in 1881. The work features a series of satirical and epistolary poems that comment on various aspects of society and human nature, including politics, religion, morality, and social norms.The satirical poems in this collection use humor, irony, and wit to criticize and expose the flaws and vices of the society of Pope's time. These poems are often characterized by their sharpness, precision, and biting criticism, and they offer a unique insight into the cultural and political landscape of the 18th century.The epistolary poems, on the other hand, are written in the form of letters and address a variety of topics, including friendship, love, and personal relationships. These poems often feature a more personal and reflective tone, and they showcase Pope's skill as a writer of both satire and sentiment.Overall, Satires And Epistles is a fascinating and insightful collection of poems that showcases Alexander Pope's mastery of both form and content. It remains a classic work of English literature and a testament to Pope's enduring influence as a poet and satirist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
