The first part, ""Materials,"" features a survey of useful reference materials as well as recommendations on available editions and anthologies. The essays in the second part, ""Approaches,"" discuss Pope's wit and use of satire, his debt to Horace, and his relationship with the Scriblerians; present Pope's poetry alongside verse and parodies by his contemporaries; and share strategies for teaching individual poems in a variety of courses. Several essays discuss Pope's influence on the English Romantics, especially Byron and Wordsworth.
