Alexander Pope is the supreme master of the English heroic couplet and the dominant poet of the early eighteenth century. Volume 1 of his collected works includes his most celebrated early and mid-career poems: An Essay on Criticism, The Rape of the Lock, Windsor Forest, and further verse that established his reputation as the wittiest and most technically accomplished poet of the age.
Pope’s lines are among the most quoted in English — sharp, balanced, and supremely memorable. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted with all poems complete and ready to read on any device.
