James) 77019510 The Scribleriad, and The Difference Between Verbal and Practical Virtue Produced by Chris Curnow, Joseph Cooper and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net. "The Scribleriad, and The Difference Between Verbal and Practical Virtue" (Anonymous) is a satirical work written in the early 18th century, specifically in 1742. This book consists of two pieces: a poem titled "The Scribleriad," which critiques the literary scene of its time, and "The Difference Between Verbal and Practical Virtue," a verse attack on poet Alexander Pope and his perceived hypocrisy. The overall theme revolves around literary criticism and the contrast between one's stated virtues and their actions in practice. The first part, "The Scribleriad," takes a humorous approach to the ongoing literary quarrels of the period, using mock-epic elements to poke fun at the figures involved in attacks against Pope, particularly Lord Hervey and Colley Cibber. The poem depicts a chaotic assembly of "dunces" debating and plotting against Pope, reflecting the rivalries and absurdities of the literary world. In the second part, "The Difference Between Verbal and Practical Virtue," Hervey criticizes various historical figures, such as Horace, Seneca, and Sallust, highlighting the disparity between their lofty words on virtue and their actual behaviors. The work weaves satire with social commentary, presenting a vivid exploration of the contradictions inherent in both literature and human character. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
