First published in 1949, New Light on Pope is a collection of new poems by one of the greatest poets; new facts about his life and work; new judgements on his quarrels; new evidence of his loyalty to his friends; and new solutions of old problems.
These discoveries made during twenty years of intermittent research are presented in this volume which has already been declared by a well-known biographer of the poet definitely to establish Pope once for all as the man he was.
Other names, beside Pope’s, figure in the present work; and people like Addison, Swift, Gay, and Cibber, to mention only the best known, are seen in actions and attitudes which will be unfamiliar even to eighteenth century specialists.
Norman Ault was a noted scholar of English poetry of the seventeenth century, and Alexander Pope.
