Miscellanies in Prose and Verse by Pope, Swift and Gay (Hardcover)

Miscellanies in Prose and Verse (1727-32) contained contributions by three of the leading satirists of the early 18th century, published at the time when all three were at the height of their powers. The set of the Miscellanies from which the present edition is taken has similar annotations, possibly in Swift's hand, but almost certainly from a Swift source. Unlike the set in the Rothschild library, it attributes writings to Pope, Gay and Arbuthnot. The allusions to Swift largely coincide with those that are present in the Rothschild copy. this edition contains a full analysis of the attributions from the two original copies.
