A New Book Of The Dunciad

- Occasioned By Mr. Warburton's New Edition Of The Dunciad Complete (1750)

Bag om A New Book Of The Dunciad

A New Book of the Dunciad is a satirical work written by William Dodd in 1750. The book is a response to Mr. Warburton's new edition of The Dunciad Complete, which was a poem by Alexander Pope that satirized literary and intellectual incompetence. Dodd's book continues the tradition of mocking those who are deemed unworthy of intellectual pursuits, and it is filled with biting wit and clever wordplay. The book is also notable for its scathing commentary on the state of contemporary literature and the publishing industry. Overall, A New Book of the Dunciad is a humorous and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on the literary culture of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
