{"product_id":"poet-and-the-publisher","title":"Poet and the Publisher","description":"The quarrel between the poet Alexander Pope and the publisher Edmund Curll has long been a notorious episode in the history of the book, when two remarkable figures with a gift for comedy and an immoderate dislike of each other clashed publicly and without restraint. However, it has never, until now, been chronicled in full. \nRipe with the sights and smells of Hanoverian London, \u003ci\u003eThe Poet and Publisher\u003c\/i\u003e details their vitriolic exchanges, drawing on previously unearthed pamphlets, newspaper articles and advertisements, court and government records, and personal letters. The story of their battles in and out of print includes a poisoning, the pillory, numerous instances of fraud, and a landmark case in the history of copyright. Indecently entertaining, the book is a forensic account of events both momentous and farcical.","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229793669464,"sku":"9781789144161","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781789144161.jpg?v=1777145422","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/poet-and-the-publisher","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
