Resemblance <<&=and>> disgrace : Alexander Pope and the deformation of culture

This text looks at the paradox between the physical figure of Alexander Pope and the polished form of his poetry. Using feminist, historicist and materialist criticism of Pope's work, and theoretical work on the body, it seeks to broaden the understanding of his texts and place them in context.
