(Joseph V.) 1928 Two Poems Against Pope One Epistle to Mr. A. Pope and the Blatant Beast Produced by Louise Hope, David Starner, Suzanne Lybarger and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Two Poems Against Pope by Mr. Welsted and Anonymous" is a literary work consisting of two satirical pieces written during the early 18th century, specifically in the period surrounding the 1730s to 1740s. The first poem, "One Epistle to Mr. A. Pope," is credited to Leonard Welsted and reflects on Alexander Pope's literary reputation, while the second poem, "The Blatant Beast," remains anonymous and serves as a further critique of Pope. These poems exemplify the vibrant satirical culture of the time, addressing the contentious relationship between Pope and his critics within the literary community. The content of the book centers on the intense rivalry between Pope and a group of contemporary writers, commonly referred to as the "Dunces." In "One Epistle to Mr. A. Pope," Welsted attacks Pope's character and literary prowess, accusing him of theft, dullness, and a disdain for other writers, specifically alluding to his supposed moral failings and the inadequacy of his poetic contributions. Meanwhile, "The Blatant Beast" continues this tradition of criticism by portraying Pope as a malicious figure whose "blatant" words harm both his enemies and allies. It embodies the era's sharp wit and biting satire, revealing how personal grievances and literary rivalries often manifested in public and published form, offering modern readers a glimpse into the dynamics of early 18th-century literary politics.
