Fans of literary lampoonery will delight in the no-holds-barred, scorched-earth satire that British poet Alexander Pope unleashes in his witty masterpiece, The Dunciad.

A satiric poem about Belinda and the evil Baron who wants to steal a lock of her hair, it is a commentary on the battle of the sexes and the contemporary social world of high society.

A splendid presentation of Pope’s poems, excluding only his translations of Homer, this is the only one-volume edition that can lay claim to completeness and accuracy of text.
