Page "Alexander Pope" Paragraph 39
from
Wikipedia
Modern criticism of Pope focuses on the man, his circumstances and motivations, prompted by theoretical perspectives such as Marxism, feminism and other forms of post-structuralism.
Brean Hammond focuses on Pope's singular achievement in making an independent living solely from his writing.
Laura Brown ( 1985 ) adopts a Marxist approach and accuses Pope of being an apologist for the oppressive upper classes.
Hammond ( 1986 ) has studied Pope's work from the perspectives of cultural materialism and new historicism.
Along Hammond's lines, Raymond Williams explains art as a set of practices influenced by broad cultural factors rather than simply the vague ideas of genius alone.
