Pope’s Mythologies: Alexander Pope and Myth in the Early British Enlightenment de A.D. Cousins

Pope’s Mythologies: Alexander Pope and Myth in the Early British Enlightenment: Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Literature

Editat de A.D. Cousins, Daniel Derrin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2024
This volume is the first to discuss the canon of Pope’s verse in relation to Early British Enlightenment thinking about mythology and mythography. Pope did not merely use classical (along with non-classical) mythology in his verse as a traditional, richly diverse medium through which to represent the diversity of private and civic life in his day, but he was an ambitious translator as well as refashioner of myth. It is a medium that he shapes anew and variously across all his major poems. This volume enhances appreciation of myth as a mode of apprehension as well as expression throughout Pope’s verse. In doing so it illuminates how, in early eighteenth-century Britain, understandings of what myth is and what it does were taking new directions – not least in response to Baconian thought and its legacy.
