"This excellent edition of Pope supersedes all its predecessors, and to a study of Pope's life and works is absolutely indispensable. All that is valuable in the notes of previous editors is preserved. The new Prefaces and Notes contain an extraordinary amount of information, much of which appears for the first time. It is impossible to praise too highly the patient care and painstaking industry with which facts are sifted, omissions supplied, errors corrected."--Edinburgh Review.
"Though the life and works of the poet will still continue to be the battle-ground of students of English literature, no combatant can regard himself as adequately equipped for the contest who has not studied the suggestive criticism both of Pope's poetry and character, which is contained in Volume V. of this monumental edition."--The Quarterly Review.
