Pope’s War with the Dunces: Mapping the Public in Early Eighteenth-Century Britain - Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature
Ileana Baird
This book examines Alexander Pope’s Dunciad, focusing on the role played by cultural periphery (what Pope called “dunces”) in launching new fashions and ideological trends. In this way, Baird sheds new light on publicness as an emerging category at the beginning of the eighteenth century.
