This 1946 edition of "The Best of Pope," edited by the esteemed scholar George Sherburn, is a definitive collection of works by the master of the heroic couplet, Alexander Pope. Published by The Ronald Press Company, this 471-page volume provides a comprehensive look at the wit and satire that defined the Augustan age. The book is bound in a classic black cloth with refined gold-stamped lettering on the spine, representing the high standard of mid-century academic publishing. It is a dense, authoritative treasury that captures the intellectual rigor of 18th-century English literature.
This volume is a quintessential piece for a Dark Academia library.
