About this product
Product Information
Written in 1727, The Art of Sinking in Poetry was one of Alexander Pope's contributions to the literary output of the legendary Scriblerus club - a circle of writers dedicated to mocking what they perceived as a culture of mediocrity and false learning prevalent in the arts and sciences of their day. Taking the form of an ironic guide to writing bad verse, Pope's tongue-in-cheek essay is wickedly funny in its lampooning of various pompous poetasters, as well as being essential reading for any budding writer wishing to avoid sinking to the unintentionally ridiculous, and instead to reach for the sublime. The Art of Sinking in Poetry sees Pope lambasting a whole generation of justly forgotten authors, and is a significant addition to the can of English literature.

Through no fault of the seller, the book didn't arrive. The envelope it was supposed to be in did, but no book, alas. The seller was very kind and investigated at their end while I investigated at mine, but no book was to be found anywhere. A mystery!
Anyway, they promptly refunded the purchase price and I will support them again if another book of interest appears in their store. Would 100% recommend purely because of their kindness and understanding. Thank you.
