The Curliad is a satirical poem written by Edmund Curll in 1729. It is a response to Alexander Pope's The Dunciad Variorum, which satirizes the literary world of Pope's time. Curll's poem is a hypercritical commentary on Pope's work, with a focus on the various editions and revisions of The Dunciad. The poem also includes a Farther Key to the new characters introduced in Pope's work, providing humorous explanations for their satirical portrayals. The Curliad is a witty and playful response to Pope's work, offering a unique perspective on the literary culture of 18th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
