Pope's Ethical Thinking
Chatterton Lecture on Poetry, delivered by Dr Christopher Tilmouth, on 10 May 2011 (venue: The British Academy), as part of the British Academy's 2011 Literature Week. Alexander Pope discerned in his verse satires 'more of morality than wit', yet his work has been thought antipathetic to some of 18th-century Britain's most enduring strains of ethical reflection. Reappraising Pope's often noted complicity with those whom he otherwise attacked, this lecture asks what part Shaftesbury's polite wit, Mandeville's cynicism, and Augustan sentimentalism played in the poetry of England's greatest satirist. What, too, can Pope teach us about the relationship between literature and ethics?
