The New Dunciad: As It Was Found In The Year 1741 (1742) is a satirical poem written by Alexander Pope. It is a continuation of his earlier work, The Dunciad, which mocked the literary and intellectual figures of his time. The New Dunciad follows the same theme, but targets a new set of individuals who Pope believed were contributing to the decline of literature and culture. The poem is divided into three books, each of which focuses on a different group of people, including politicians, writers, and critics. Pope employs a range of literary devices, including allegory, irony, and parody, to ridicule his targets and expose their flaws. The New Dunciad is considered to be one of Pope's most significant works and a masterpiece of English satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
