The first study dedicated to the relationship between Alexander Pope and George Berkeley, this book undertakes a comparative reading of their work on the visual environment, economics and providence, challenging current ideas of the relationship between poetry and philosophy in early eighteenth-century Britain. It shows how Berkeley's idea that the phenomenal world is the language of God, learnt through custom and experience, can help to explain some of Pope's conservative sceptical arguments, and also his virtuoso poetic techniques. VIII, 203 p.
TOM JONES teaches Eighteenth-century literature and literary theory in the University of St. Andrews. He has published articles on Pope's reading in classical and modern philosophy.
