Title
The Dunciad: An Heroic Poem
Description
This early edition of Pope’s Dunciad was falsely attributed to Anne Dodd, who was one of Britain’s most famous newsagents. This backhanded compliment testifies to Dodd’s status as a household name — and the association of her imprint with the high-volume, variable-quality output of hack writers, who are a major theme of the poem.
