The Rape of the Lock and the Dunciad (Deseret Alphabet Edition)

Über The Rape of the Lock and the Dunciad (Deseret Alphabet Edition)

Alexander Pope (1688-1744) was an English poet, best-known for his translation of Homer and other works in heroic couplets. He is the most-quoted English writer after William Shakespeare. The Rape of the Lock is a satiric poem and mock-epic, based on a scandal caused when a nobleman, Robert Petre, cut off a lock of Arabella Fermor's hair without her permission. By recounting the incident in the elevated style of Homer's epics, Pope trivializes it in the hopes of ending the schism between the two families. The Dunciad, another mock-epic, pillories many of the then-prominent but now-forgotten literary figures of the day by describing their devotion to the goddess Dulness. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
