Excerpt from The Rape of the Lock: An Heroi-Comical Poem in Five Cantos
Madam,
It will be vain to deny that I have some regard for this piece, since I dedicate it to you. Yet you may bear me witness, it was intended only to divert a few young ladies, who have good sense and good humour enough, to laugh not only at their sex's little unguarded follies, but at their own. But as it was communicated with the air of a secret, it soon found its way into the world. An imperfect copy having been offered to a bookseller, you had the good-nature for my sake to consent to the publication of one more correct: This I was forced to before I had executed half my design, for the Machinery was entirely wanting to compleat it.

The Rape of the Lock: An Heroi-Comical Poem in Five Cantos (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an excerpt from the first published version of Alexander Pope's satirical masterpiece, The Rape of the Lock. As a mock-heroic narrative poem, it follows Belinda, a well-to-do young woman, as she navigates the perils of a day full of social engagements and romantic entanglements. First published in 1712, the poem delicately pokes fun at the social mores and superficiality of upper-class society in the 18th century. The author's deft use of literary devices such as sylphs, gnomes, and a mock battle lend an air of fantasy to what is essentially a humorous social commentary. Beyond the entertainment it provides, the poem also offers a glimpse into the societal expectations and gender roles of its time. Pope's keen observations and wit provide a rich tapestry of insights into the complexities of human nature and societal foibles that continue to resonate with readers today.
