Topic: The Dunciad



  
 Augustan poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fourth book of the new Dunciad, Pope expressed the view that, in the battle between light and dark (enlightenment and the dark ages), Night and Dulness were fated to win, that all things of value were soon going to be subsumed under the curtain of unknowing.
The story is that of the goddess Dulness choosing a new avatar.
In 1743, Pope issued a new version of The Dunciad ("The Dunciad B") with a fourth book added.

 The Dunciad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While in the Dunciad A the palace had been empty, it is here crowded with ghosts (the same dunces mentioned in 1727, but all having died in the interim).
Therefore, these two portions of the preface could have been written by any of its members, but they, like the other prefatory materials, were most likely written by Pope himself.
These trimming religious authors are people like Benjamin Hoadley (who had been an aid to Smedley) and John "Orator" Henley.

It seems to me that the basis of his attack is true, and the fact that we are moving into a position where we can look back on the dominance of the paper book, as he was able to look forward at it, enables us to see this truth.
Pope's initials and blanks do not inevitably refer to living people, but the filled blanks and the notes make them do so (p.25).
Edmund Curll, seeing himself in "C--l", published a twenty-four page Compleat Key to the Dunciad, only ten days after its appearance.

 The War With The Dunces
Pope had formed an alliance with Warburton, of which I shall presently have to speak; and it was under Warburton's influence that he resolved to add a fourth book to the Dunciad.
" The great fault of the Dunciad," says Warton, an intelligent and certainly not an over-severe critic, "is the excessive vehemence of the satire.

What determined its plan and hastened its completion was, undoubtedly, the pain given him by Theobald& Shakespeare Restored, which must have been all the keener because he could not fail to perceive the justice of the criticism.

 Dunciad
Not only is Pope frightened by Grub Street productivity, but he perceives this world as frightening and presents it as grotesque in the Dunciad.
Moreover, Mikhail Bakhtin presents his idea of the grotesque body, describing senile hags in the following way: “This is a typical and very strongly expressed grotesque.
In the Dunciad improper female behaviour is criticized through Dulness’ rejection of social and sexual passivity.

 Alexander Pope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pope directly addressed the major religious, political and intellectual problems of his time.
In this period Pope also brought out an edition of Shakespeare, which silently "regularised" his metre and rewrote his verse in several places.
Lewis Theobald and other scholars attacked Pope's edition, incurring Pope's wrath and inspiring the first version of his satire The Dunciad (1728), the first of the moral and satiric poems of his last period.

The Dunciad Variorum Book I (be sure to read everything up to the start of Book I as well; you'll see what I mean when you get to it)
This text began, as is well known, as Pope's response to Theobold's criticism of Pope's edition of Shakespeare but it of course grew to encompass a much broader attack on the popular culture, sweepingly categorizing its purveyors as Dunces gleefully destroying the nation at the behest of the goddess Dulness.
I started by having the students read Pope's Essay on Criticism, a poem in which the young Pope makes the case that criticism is something that should be performed by authors themselves rather than by mere critics.

Bolingbroke was beyond doubt one of the most brilliant and stimulating minds of his age.
When the University of Oxford hesitated to give Warburton, who had never attended a university, the degree of D.D., Pope declined to accept the degree of D.C.L. which had been offered him at the same time, and wrote the Fourth Book of the 'Dunciad' to satirize the stupidity of the university authorities.
The 'Dunciad' is little read to-day except by professed students of English letters, but it made, naturally enough, a great stir at the time and vastly provoked the wrath of all the dunces whose names it dragged to light.

The three books of The Dunciad were published in 1728 and again in 1729 (with additional material); a fourth book appeared in 1742.
His last works were his Imitations of the Satires of Horace and the fourth book of The Dunciad.
Between 1731 and 1735 he produced his Epistles, the last of which, addressed to John Arbuthnot, is also known as the Prologue to the Satires, and contains his ungrateful character-study of Joseph Addison under the name of Atticus; and the Essay on Man.

The focus is limited to Book II for several reasons, chief of which is the fact that compared to the first and third books, Book II presents the greatest concentration of contemporary references to the book trade, references which furnish the skeletal makings for a virtual reconstruction of the London book trade in the 1720s.

This gave Pope the opportunity he had hoped for, and provided him with an excuse for the personalities of the Dunciad, which had been in his mind as early as 1720.
According to Pope's own history of the Dunciad, an Heroic Poem in Three Books, which first appeared on the 28th of May 1728, the idea of it grew out of this.
But no sooner was the treatise published than the scribblers proceeded to take the letters to themselves, and in revenge to fill the newspapers with the most abusive falsehoods and scurrilities they could devise.

 Forthcoming Issues
This essay argues that Pope's ambivalence about the power of imagination is linked to his ambivalence about the maternal and that his allegiance to a literary patrilineage of classical satirists who also attack maternal power is part of his attempt to gain within the public world of poetry a disembodied masculine identity.
Tosi analyses the linguistic, symbolic and visual elements of the Elizabethan and Jacobean masque which Pope might have borrowed, or alluded to, in his Dunciad, in order to portray instances of mock kingship, of the monstrous body, and the debasement of alchemic as well as other kinds of knowledge.
At the same time, Pope created in The Dunciad perhaps the strongest attack on maternal authority in the English language.

 Lewis Theobald: Information From Answers.com
Theobald (pronounced by Pope as "Tibbald," though living members of his branch of the Theobald family say it was pronounced as spelled then, as it is today) was rewarded for his public rebuke of Pope by becoming the first hero of Pope's The Dunciad in 1728.
In the apparatus to the poem, he collects ill comments made on Theobald by others, gives evidence that Theobald wrote letters to Mist's Journal praising himself, and argues that Theobald had meant his Shakespeare Restored as an ambush.
Edmund Malone's later edition (the standard from which modern editors act) was built on Theobald's.

Was this simply a foible on his part, or should we try to explain the dividedness of Pope's poem by reference to factors outside the poet himself?
It has long been recognised that Pope's emotions for those he stigmatised as ‘dunces’ went beyond mere dislike, and that his attitude towards what he called ‘dullness’ included an awareness of its attraction and an acknowledgement of its power.
What has not been attempted, however, is any contextualised explanation of why it was that Pope's poetry of literary excoriation found itself so compromised.

 The Dunciad Bk. II
He began under twenty with furious party-papers; then succeeded Concanen in the 'British Journal.' At the first publication of the 'Dunciad,' he prevailed on the author not to give him his due place in it, by a letter professing his detestation of such practices as his predecessor's.
But since, by the most unexampled insolence, and personal abuse of several great men, the poet's particular friends, he most amply deserved a niche in the temple of infamy: witness a paper, called the 'Free Briton;' a dedication entitled, 'To the genuine blunderer,' 1732, and many others.
His chief work was a translation of Hesiod, to which Theobald wrote notes and half-notes, which he carefully owned.--P.

 Haywood, Injur'd Husband, Lasselia
The reactions of Jonathan Swift, who called Haywood “a stupid, infamous, scribbling woman,” and of Alexander Pope, who attacked her in his satiric poem The Dunciad, were representative of the period’s misogynistic attacks on women writers.
But, as Beasley observes, these criticisms did not diminish Haywood’s popularity, nor did they force her into literary exile as critics once believed.
One such myth revolves around the critical response to Haywood’s early work, particularly to her thinly veiled portraits of contemporary figures in her “scandal novels,” tales of amorous intrigues involving court personalities.

The first part of Carey's coinage came from Amby, or Ambrose.
In poking fun at some children's verse written by Philips, Carey used the nickname Namby Pamby: “So the Nurses get by Heart Namby Pamby's Little Rhimes.” Pope then used the name in the 1733 edition of his satirical epic The Dunciad.
Their ridicule, inspired by political differences and literary rivalry, had little to do with the quality of Philips's poetry.

Consider, for instance, Pope's dislike of Shakespeare's tendency to create verbs from nouns (not to be taken as an authority for modern-day, casual verbing); Theobald allows the practice (see 69), recognising that the notion of proper syntax has varied from era to era.
