A New Book Of The Dunciad

A New Book of the Dunciad is a satirical poem written by William Dodd in 1750. The poem is a response to Mr. Warburton's new edition of The Dunciad Complete, a poem by Alexander Pope that satirizes the literary and intellectual mediocrity of the time. Dodd's poem continues the tradition of Pope's work, ridiculing the same targets and adding new ones. The poem is divided into three parts, each targeting different aspects of society, including politicians, writers, and scholars. Dodd's writing is witty and clever, and his use of satire is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Overall, A New Book of the Dunciad is a valuable addition to the canon of satirical literature and a fascinating insight into the cultural and intellectual climate of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
