Publisher: Reaktion Books
The long-standing feud between the poet Alexander Pope and the publisher Edmund Curll has been a notorious episode in the history of the book, with two remarkable figures with a gift for comedy and an immoderate dislike of each other clashing publicly and without restraint. However, it has never been chronicled in full until now. The Poet and Publisher delves into the vitriolic exchanges between Pope and Curll, drawing on previously unearthed pamphlets, newspaper articles, advertisements, court and government records, and personal letters. The story of their battles in and out of print includes a poisoning, the pillory, numerous instances of fraud, and a landmark case in the history of copyright. Indecently entertaining, the book is a forensic account of events both momentous and farcical.
