John Dennis : pamphlet attacking Pope's poetry

"Pope collected copies of attacks on his own work, and the notes in these tend understandably to the defensive, as in the occasional sarcastic comment in pamphlets by John Dennis: when Dennis complains ... of a dream temple suspended in air, that it is 'Contrary to Nature, and to the Eternal Laws of Gravitation,' Pope grumbles, 'wch no dream ought to be.'"

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Alexander Pope      

  

John Dennis : [critical works]

'He said, he wished to see John Dennis's "Critical Works" collected. Davies said they would not sell. Dr. Johnson seemed to think otherwise.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Samuel Johnson      Print: Serial / periodical, presumably not in a book if Johnson wanted them to be collected
