Sommario/riassunto

Mussolini's march on Rome; Hitler's speeches before waves of goose-stepping storm troopers; the horrors of the Holocaust; burning crosses and neo-Nazi skinhead hooligans. Few words are as evocative, and even fewer ideologies as pernicious, as fascism. And yet, the world continues to witness the success of political parties in countries such as



Italy, France, Austria, Russia, and elsewhere resembling in various ways historical fascism. Why, despite its past, are people still attracted to fascism? Will it ever again be a major political force in the world? Where in the world is it most likely to

Sommario/riassunto

This is the first study to assess the entire career of Alexander Pope (1688-1744) in relation to the political issues of his time. While much has been written on the politics of Pope, most of this relates to his possible Jacobite sympathies and his involvement in the opposition to Sir Robert Walpole in the 1730s. This biography covers the whole range



of the poet's life, starting with his family background and the extended Catholic circle in which he continued to move, an important factor in the making of <i>The Rape of the Lock</i>. <br>  The book shows for the first time the continuing impact on his work of party divisions in London (deriving partly from his father's career as a merchant) and offers a fresh reading of <i>The Dunciad</i> as a commentary on City politics. It brings out a sustained commentary on the fortunes of the Tory party, especially the fate of Robert Harley, Matthew Prior and Francis Atterbury, which supplies a hidden subtext in the <i>Epistle to Bathurst</i>. The longstanding quarrel with the publisher Edmund Curll is seen to connect in unexpected ways with the public dramas of the day.  <br>  While the book gives detailed attention to Pope's poetry and prose, exploring both major and minor texts, it draws on his own letters, together with the correspondence of friends such as Jonathan Swift, John Gay and Dr John Arbuthnot.<br>
