Alexander Pope (1688-1744) - "An Essay on Criticism"New!
One of Pope's most famous work. He gives his opinion on criticism of poetry. He basically talks about his belief that nature is the best guide for true judgement, some causes that hinders true judgement, and his rules for a critic's conduct. The most amazing thing is that it is all written in rhyming couplets!
