Sinopsis
I am inclined to think that both the writers of books, and the readers of them, are generally not a little unreasonable in their expectations. The first seem to fancy that the world must approve whatever they produce, and the latter to imagine that authors are obliged to please them at any rate. Methinks, as on the one hand, no single man is born with a right of controlling the opinions of all the rest; so on the other, the world has no title to demand, that the whole care and time of any particular person should be sacrificed to its entertainment. Therefore I cannot but believe that writers and readers are under equal obligations for as much fame, or pleasure, as each affords the other. Every one acknowledges, it would be a wild notion to expect perfection in any work of man: and yet one would think the contrary was taken for granted, by the judgment commonly passed upon poems. A critic supposes he has done his part if he proves a writer to have failed in an expression, or erred in any particular point: and can it then be wondered at if the poets in general seem resolved not to own themselves in any error? For as long as one side will make no allowances, the other will be brought to no acknowledgments.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The text provides a comprehensive examination of the publication history and editorial challenges surrounding the works and letters of Alexander Pope, a prominent 18th-century English poet. It begins by discussing the initial unauthorized publication of Pope's letters to Cromwell by the bookseller Curll, which, despite Pope's public disapproval, seemed to have pleased him due to the positive reception. This incident sparked Pope's interest in publishing more of his correspondence, leading to a series of complex and often deceitful maneuvers to release his letters without appearing to be directly involved. The text highlights Pope's manipulation of his friend, Lord Oxford, to lend credibility to the publication of his letters with Wycherley, under the guise of clearing Wycherley's reputation. Pope's actions are portrayed as a blend of vanity and strategic planning, aiming to enhance his literary stature while maintaining a facade of modesty. The narrative also touches on the editorial efforts of Warburton, who was entrusted with Pope's works after his death, and the subsequent editions by various editors, each bringing their own interpretations and biases. The text underscores the enduring complexity of Pope's character, oscillating between genuine literary genius and a propensity for deceit, as well as the challenges faced by editors in presenting an accurate and comprehensive view of his legacy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 226 pp. Englisch.
