Revisions to Pope's Prose Works in the Miscellanies (1732)

  Abstract

Revisions to Pope's Prose Works in the Miscellanies (1732). This note concerns the so-called ‘third’ volume of the Miscellanies (1732), which assembled works by Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and their colleagues in the Scriblerus group. In this collection, Pope reprinted four prose works that had previously appeared in print, between 1713 and 1716. These included two pamphlets directed against the publisher Edmund Curll. The note describes the detailed changes made in the text of 1732, especially those of a substantive nature, and suggests reasons for the alterations. It emerges that Pope carried out the revisions to his prose with some care, as he normally did when he brought out fresh editions of his poems.
