Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope Bibliography: 18th Century Satire file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/kellerw/Documents/Academics/12... Early 18th-Century Satire: Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope A Bibliography compiled by Wolfram R. Keller Note: Only one editor is named in cases of essay collections with more than two editors. Articles from Dissertation Abstracts International are only listed in case they are especially relevant. Essays from Explicator are not listed. Likewise, Notes and Queries-articles are neglected unless they seem particularly relevant. To save space, I did not mention the series book-length studies have been published in. Finally, in case of special journal issues dealing with seminar-relevant material, articles have been listed separately to allow for a better overview in terms of inter-library loans.

  • Cooper's Hill to Windsor-Forest
    RICE UNIVERSITY MYTHIC PEACE AND PLENTY: COOPER’S HILL TO WIWDBOR-FOKEBT by Clifford Earl Ramsey, III A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DECREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Houston, Texas June, 1961 CONTENTS FOREWORD 1 ONE —THE MYTHICAL CONCEPTION OF HISTORY . 1 TWO —POEMS OF PEACE AND PLENTY FROM COOPER1 S HILL TO WINDSOR-FOREST ................ 8 THREE—AFTER WINDSOR-FOREST. .46 NOTES .56 BIBLIOGRAPHY 66 FOREWORD This study is an Investigation of a sub-species of seventeenth and eighteenth century English poetry — a group of poems that I believe constitutes a "tradition" in the literature of the period* In this essay I call these works Poems of Peace and Plenty, and 1 attempt to charac¬ terize the Peace and Plenty tradition by describing its es¬ sential elements* X am more concerned vrith "content" than "form," so my analysis will focus for the most part on themes and motifs. Although I will describe an apparently uniform pattern, almost no individual poem conforms completely to the somewhat idealized configuration which I have extrapo¬ lated. Nor can all the poems I use for evidence or illus¬ tration be called Poems of Peace and Plenty. Of the too poems 1 have chosen as the terminal points of this study, Cooper^ Hill is only inchoately a poem of Peace and Plenty, but Windsor-Forest on the other hand is possibly the one work which most fully conforms to the Peace and Plenty pat¬ tern. For this reason these two poems, though arbitrarily selected, mark off rather meaningful limits for an analysis of this type of poetry.

  • Nature's Spectacles: Ornament, Performance, and Natural History In
    Nature’s Spectacles: Ornament, Performance, and Natural History in the Long Eighteenth Century By Killian Colm Quigley Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in English August, 2016 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Jonathan Lamb, D.Phil. Bridget Orr, Ph.D. Dahlia Porter, Ph.D. Humberto Garcia, Ph.D. Iain McCalman, Ph.D. To my noble parents, to my sisters, to all my Quigley and O’Sullivan kin, and especially To the memory of Dr. Fionnuala Quigley, Ballineen ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dr. Jonathan Lamb, who has chaired my dissertation committee, is a living exemplum of exquisiteness in thinking and magnanimity in living. Or perhaps the parts of that construction should be interchanged – they certainly could be, with no breach of fitness. To work under Dr. Lamb’s tutelage has been to strive in a great and ever-expanding atmosphere of luminous enthusiasm and pellucid insight. I am surely only one among a multitude of students and colleagues to have benefited from Dr. Lamb’s professional and personal generosity. I would nonetheless testify vehemently to its power. Since arriving at Vanderbilt, I have been the beneficiary of Dr. Bridget Orr’s mentorship, in the classroom, in my dissertation committee, in my pursuing grants and fellowships, and so on. Dr. Orr’s work, and her feedback for this dissertation, reflect her occupying that miraculous space which reconciles exacting scholarship to an ingenious sense of art. Dr. Humberto Garcia not only made pivotal contributions to the project in its early stages, but helped me understand how critical work interacts with the forces of aesthetics and narrative.

It focuses on the parallels which the English poet sought to draw with the Roman poet with regards to his background as an outsider, his rise to success, and his views on the relationship between politics and poetry. The argument lies in the idea that Pope’s motivation for composing the Horatian Imitations was based on multiple factors. Taking a chronological
