    Pope’s writing is clever and engaging. The editing is good. Parts felt a little dated, however.

  2. Rik Raj Dey –

    Pope’s wit shines, but some poems felt a bit dense. Overall, a good collection.

  3. Darshit Pokarna –

    A fine collection of works from Pope’s canon. Editing is great and insightful. The Dunciad not my style

  4. Abhishek Chaudhary –

    The Rape of the Lock is fantastic! Other works are interesting, but not as captivating.

  5. Nikhil Vardhan –

    A great look into Pope’s brilliance, satirical talent. Some parts have too much background context

  6. Tanisha Gupta –

    A great introduction to Pope. Damrosch’s editing is helpful. Some satire missed the mark for me.

    Enjoyed the variety of works. The letters gave great insight. Found some of it boring.

    An excellent collection, though some pieces require multiple readings to fully appreciate.

    Excellent anthology of Pope’s writing. Translation work is very well done. A little heavy in some places

  10. Aditya Chhaganbhai Boricha –

    Pope’s mastery of language is apparent. Some areas require re-reads. Excellent collection overall.

  11. Chhavi Poddar –

    Pope’s genius is on full display. “An Essay on Criticism” is insightful. Not all of it aged well.

  12. Sarthak Joshi –

    A must-read for any English literature enthusiast. Pope’s brilliance is undeniable. Some parts hard to understand.

  13. Vaibhav Singh –

    Found the book to be incredibly insightful and well-written. Some of the satire was confusing.

  14. Akhil Raj –

    Comprehensive and well-edited. It’s a good survey of Pope’s work. Not my favorite poet, however.

  15. Aseem Goel –

    Really enjoyed delving into Pope’s world. The collection is well-curated. Some poems are too dense.

  16. Nitish Kumar –

    A good overview of Pope’s career. ‘Rape of the Lock’ is the standout. Some works less engaging.

  17. Swarnima Maheshwari –

    Pope’s mastery of language is evident. The Dunciad was a bit long-winded. Still a worthwhile read.

  18. Charu Aggarwal –

    The satirical elements are hilarious! Translations are well-done. Wish there was more context.
