The Age of Pope by John Dennis
"The Age of Pope" by John Dennis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work forms part of a series of handbooks dedicated to English literature, focusing on the literary period between the death of John Dryden in 1700 and the death of Alexander Pope in 1744. The book explores the influential figures and works of this era, with a specific emphasis on Pope, who is often consideredthe central poet of the time. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of English literature during this transformative period. Dennis articulates the significance of Dryden’s contributions while also drawing attention to the shifting landscape of literature that followed. He discusses the complex interplay of political, social, and literary influences, particularly highlighting the rise of satire and the changing styles in poetry and prose that characterized the era. The text serves as both a guide and an introduction for readers seeking a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in literary history, while also providing context for Pope's work, laying the groundwork for further exploration of the poets and prose writers of the age.
