If you hadn't guessed, I'm reading quite a lot of Pope at the moment, in the John Butt one-volume version of the Twickenham edition.
I suppose I should have read Pope much earlier, but when I was 'doing' English literature I had to make choices. So I mostly did the Victorians through the poetry, ducking the very many big fat novels, and mostly ignored the latter half of the seventeenth, and the early eighteenth, centuries altogether.
Which means that although there are a few poems I knew already, I'm mostly coming to Pope for the first time - and, I'm afraid, sharing. Sorry about that...
