However, it has never, until now, been chronicled in full. Ripe with the sights and smells of Hanoverian London, The Poet and Publisher details their vitriolic exchanges, drawing on previously unearthed pamphlets, newspaper articles, and advertisements, court and government records, and personal letters. The story of their battles in and out of print includes a poisoning, the pillory, numerous instances of fraud, and a landmark case in the history of copyright. The book is a forensic account of events both momentous and farcical, and it is indecently entertaining. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 451-455) and index. 505 0 $a Preface -- Introduction -- The time and the place -- The antagonists -- True and false reports, 1714-15 -- Poisonous relations, 1716 -- Horrid wars, 1716 -- The loss of Eden, 1716 -- The second Aesop, 1717 -- An abominable catalogue, 1718-19 -- Crimes and punishments, 1720-24 -- Prison, 1724-7 -- Pillory, 1725-8 -- A confederacy of dunces, 1728-9 -- The public ear, 1730-34 -- The letters of Mr. Pope: stage one, 1735 -- The letters of Mr. Pope: stage two, 1735-6 -- Final exchanges, 1737-47 -- Closing arguments -- Epilogue. 600 10 $a Pope, Alexander, $d 1688-1744. 600 10 $a Curll, Edmund, $d 1675-1747. 600 17 $a Curll, Edmund, $d 1675-1747. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00149148 600 17 $a Pope, Alexander, $d 1688-1744. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00040041 650 0 $a Copyright $z England $x History. 650 7 $a Copyright. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00878706 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rogers, Pat, 1938- $t Poet and the publisher. $d London, UK : Reaktion Books, 2021 $z 1789144167 $w (OCoLC)1250591249 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012420.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D828C80CEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
