Page xi Preface Only in the last decade, or slightly better, have the Horatian imitations emerged from the neglect and disrepute of very nearly their whole history. Doubly damned in the romantic rejection of Pope and satire alikeitself a heritage of the Wartonian verdict and the triumph of sublimitythe imitations have, with meagre exception, languished in all but Cimmerian gloom until the middle of our own century. In 1939 the Twickenham edition afforded a basis for restudy and re-evaluation, but it was not until the mid-fifties that much came of it. At that time Robert W. Rogers, in an epochal study of The Major Satires of Alexander Pope, vindicated the reputation of these forgotten poems. Since then they have enjoyed steadily mounting notice in journals and Festschriften by such scholars as R. E. Hughes, G. K. Hunter, and Aubrey Williams. Meanwhile, passing notice of them has intensified in books about Pope's poetry as a whole, most recently by such authors as G. Wilson Knight, Reuben Brower, and Thomas R. Edwards Jr. But it was not until 1966 that a book-length study of the imitations at last made an appearance, Thom Maresca's Pope's Horatian Poems, an important study of the theological implications and strategy of five of the poems. The present book is an attempt to extend this frontier a little further, especially into such still uncharted territory as that of Satires II. ii (Bethel), I. ii (Sober Advice), Epistle I. vi (Murray), and the two imitations in the manner of Swift (Satire II. vi and Epistle I. vii). Three of its chapters have appeared, in slightly different form, elsewhere: Chapter I, originally titled "Pope and the Satiric Adversary," in Studies in
