- Description
- Reevaluates Pope's adaptation of HF, "The Temple of Fame," focusing on how radically he reworks Chaucer's narrative, shifting it to a more "scenic" poem by introducing elements from "An Account of Several Late Voyages and Discoveries," a piece of travel/exploration literature that conveys aspects of the sublime.
