- 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.
