Baines, Paul, and Pat Rogers, 'Mr Pope's Literary Correspondence (1734–1736)', Edmund Curll, Bookseller (Oxford , 2007; online edn, Oxford Academic, 3 Oct. 2011), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199278985.003.0014, accessed 8 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter describes how the delicate sequence of cloak-and-dagger events by which Pope maneuvered Curll into publishing an edition of his letters was perhaps the poet's most consummate and intricate piece of plotting, and not all the details are clear even now. Pope published his own Narrative of the Method while Curll published the letters, and Curll responded with a True Narrative, reprinting Pope's story with his own notes and rebuttals, and a further collection of ‘Initial Correspondence’ relating to the affair. The chapter discusses five volumes published by Curll.
