{"product_id":"the-dunciad-in-four-books-9781408204160","title":"The Dunciad in Four Books","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dunciad in Four Books of 1743 was the culmination of the series of Dunciads which Alexander Pope produced over the last decade and a half of his life. It comprises not only a poem  but also a mass of authorial annotation and appendices  and this authoritative edition is the only one available which gives all the verse and the prose in a clearly laid-out form  with a full modern commentary. Accessibly presented on the same page as Popes text are explanatory notes  written in a style adapted to the needs of undergraduate readers  but still comprehensive enough to address the interests of scholars. The many books and pamphlets to which Pope refers have been examined in detail  and the commentary takes advantage of the fifty years scholarship on literary  bibliographical  cultural and political aspects of the period which has accumulated since James Sutherlands The Dunciad  volume five of the Twickenham Edition. A substantial introduction offers a stimulating and helpful approach to the work  and the bibliography includes extensive suggestions for further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666172895285,"sku":"ByrdShop_1408204169","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781408204160.jpg?v=1782421690","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-dunciad-in-four-books-9781408204160","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
