This collection of Alexander Pope’s poetry gathers the mock-heroic 'The Rape of the Lock,' about a stolen lock of hair and the social uproar it causes, alongside 'An Essay on Criticism,' 'An Essay on Man,' and satirical epistles. Pope’s witty couplets and sharp observation of society make these poems rewarding to hear.
