Pope Alexander; Zanini A. (cur.) Title : Saggio sull'uomo. Testo inglese a fronte
Author: Pope Alexander; Zanini A. (cur.)
Publisher: Liberilibri

'Saggio sull'uomo', il poema più ambizioso di Pope, è costituito da quattro epistole in versi, nelle quali sono racchiusi lo spirito filosofico del Settecento e il sentimento di un'epoca: la consapevole accettazione di un ordine universale in cui odio e benevolenza, ferocia e mansuetudine, piacere e dolore trovano un loro senso imperscrutabile e in cui l'uomo - elemento intermedio ma non centrale della Grande Catena dell'Essere - deve deporre la velleitaria pretesa di comprendere il tutto. Elogiato da Voltaire e da Kant, 'An essay on man' fece di Pope una celebrità europea.

Pope Alexander; Gallenzi A. (cur.) Title : I bassifondi della poesia
Author: Pope Alexander; Gallenzi A. (cur.)
Publisher: Adelphi

Pubblicato nel 1728 all'interno del terzo volume di Miscellanee di Jonathan Swift e Alexander Pope, il Perì Bathous, o L'arte di toccare il fondo in poesia è una divertita esplorazione dei bassifondi del Parnaso, una velenosa spigolatura di assurdità estetiche, un prontuario di sovversione poetica ad uso delle teste di legno erudite - il tutto addobbato nelle contegnose vesti della trattatistica classica sul sublime. Questa spietata disamina delle cause e delle manifestazioni del cattivo gusto in poesia nasce come esercizio collettivo dello Scriblerus Club, il circolo informale di letterati e politici Tory che, a partire dal 1714, furono di fatto proscritti dall'attività pubblica sotto l'incontrastata supremazia Whig. A perfezionare l'opera sarà il solo Pope: la sua condizione di outsider, oltre alla fama e agli anticipi per le sue traduzioni omeriche, faranno di lui il primo poeta inglese capace di fondare il proprio successo soltanto sul pubblico, senza le ingerenze del mecenatismo. Fu una carriera che improntò un'epoca e raggiunse l'apice nelle Imitazioni di Orazio, una serie di satire, odi ed epistole in distici eroici sull'arte e la letteratura. Fra queste, l'Epistola al dottor Arbuthnot - qui pubblicata con testo a fronte - è il coronamento del «lungo malanno» che fu la vita di Pope: un capolavoro che fonde autobiografia intima, struggente elegia dell'amicizia e satira abrasiva in una deflagrante miscela di furia, decorum, malizia, malinconia e felicità espressiva.

Pope Alexander, Jones Tom (EDT) Title : An Essay on Man
Author: Pope Alexander, Jones Tom (EDT)
Publisher: Princeton Univ Pr

Voltaire called it "the most sublime didactic poem ever written in any language." Rousseau rhapsodized about its intellectual consolations. Kant recited long passages of it from memory during his lectures. And Adam Smith and David Hume drew inspiration from it in their writings. This was Alexander Pope's Essay on Man (1733-34), a masterpiece of philosophical poetry, one of the most important and controversial works of the Enlightenment, and one of the most widely read, imitated, and discussed poems of eighteenth-century Europe and America. This volume, which presents the first major new edition of the poem in more than fifty years, introduces this essential work to a new generation of readers, recapturing the excitement and illuminating the debates it provoked from the moment of its publication.

Echoing Milton's purpose in Paradise Lost, Pope says his aim in An Essay on Man is to "vindicate the ways of God to man"--to explain the existence of evil and explore man's place in the universe. In a comprehensive introduction, Tom Jones describes the poem as an investigation of the fundamental question of how people should behave in a world they experience as chaotic, but which they suspect to be orderly from some higher point of view. The introduction provides a thorough discussion of the poem's attitudes, themes, composition, context, and reception, and reassesses the work's place in history. Extensive annotations to the text explain references and allusions.

The result is the most accessible, informative, and reader-friendly edition of the poem in decades and an invaluable book for students and scholars of eighteenth-century literature and thought.

Pope Alexander, Damrosch Leo (EDT) Title : The Rape of the Lock and Other Major Writings
Author: Pope Alexander, Damrosch Leo (EDT)
Publisher: Penguin Classics

The major works of the greatest English poet of his age.

The energy and inventiveness of Alexander Pope's verse still astonish centuries after his death. This new collection follows the path of Pope's poetic genius over his lifetime, featuring early poems such as the masterly mock-epic 'The Rape of the Lock,' which satirizes a notorious society scandal in glorious heroic couplets, and excerpts from his translation of the Iliad. Later writings include Pope's ironic adaptations of Horace's Epistles and a stinging attack on his literary rivals and the mediocrity of Grub Street hacks. Collected here, too, are selected prose works and letters to such contemporaries as John Gay and Jonathan Swift.

Pope Alexander; Gallenzi A. (cur.) Title : Il ratto del ricciolo. Testo inglese a fronte
Author: Pope Alexander; Gallenzi A. (cur.)
Publisher: Adelphi

Un certo Lord Petre ebbe l'ardire di tagliare surrettiziamente un ricciolo di Lady Arabella Fermor - e il gelo calò fra le due famiglie: finché un giovane e già celebre poeta ricevette il delicato incarico di scrivere una poesia che contribuisse a rasserenare gli animi. Futile occasione, si direbbe: se non che l'artista interpellato era il beffardo e geniale Alexander Pope, 'piccolo usignolo' della Chiesa cattolica nell'Inghilterra settecentesca. Così 'solleticato', Pope compose un poemetto che per inventiva, passionalità ed estro poetico tocca punte di epicità omerica: non per niente lavorava a quel tempo a un'epocale traduzione dell'Iliade. La sua, però, è una guerra in miniatura, incentrata sull'eterna, risibile 'guerra dei sessi'. Il testo riscosse un immediato successo di pubblico e suscitò inviperite reazioni nella buona società. Ma Pope, per ribattere, inventò la, per così dire, pars deconstruens: scrisse un commento che è una chiave di lettura ultratendenziosa della sua stessa opera e insieme la satira di ogni pretesa interpretativa.
