From this reading Always savage, attacks on Pope reached their lowest depths of scurrility in 1742, when, in addition to the usual prose and doggerel verse pamphlets, engravings were being circulated portraying Pope in a brothel--this on the basis of the story told in the notorious _Letter from Mr. Cibber to Mr. Pope_, dated 7 July 1742.[1] The Augustan Reprint Society has already reissued three of the anonymous Grub Street attacks made upon Pope in this busy year,[2] but the present volume is intended to complete the picture of the battle-lines by reprinting a verse attack launched from the court--by Hervey presenting himself as Cibber's ally--and a verse defence that comes, in point of artistry, clearly from or near Grub Street itself.

From this reading Always savage, attacks on Pope reached their lowest depths of scurrility in 1742, when, in addition to the usual prose and doggerel verse pamphlets, engravings were being circulated portraying Pope in a brothel--this on the basis of the story told in the notorious _Letter from Mr. Cibber to Mr. Pope_, dated 7 July 1742.[1] The Augustan Reprint Society has already reissued three of the anonymous Grub Street attacks made upon Pope in this busy year,[2] but the present volume is intended to complete the picture of the battle-lines by reprinting a verse attack launched from the court--by Hervey presenting himself as Cibber's ally--and a verse defence that comes, in point of artistry, clearly from or near Grub Street itself.

From this reading Always savage, attacks on Pope reached their lowest depths of scurrility in 1742, when, in addition to the usual prose and doggerel verse pamphlets, engravings were being circulated portraying Pope in a brothel--this on the basis of the story told in the notorious _Letter from Mr. Cibber to Mr. Pope_, dated 7 July 1742.[1] The Augustan Reprint Society has already reissued three of the anonymous Grub Street attacks made upon Pope in this busy year,[2] but the present volume is intended to complete the picture of the battle-lines by reprinting a verse attack launched from the court--by Hervey presenting himself as Cibber's ally--and a verse defence that comes, in point of artistry, clearly from or near Grub Street itself.
