- Résumé : The text provides a comprehensive examination of the publication history and editorial challenges surrounding the works and letters of Alexander Pope, a prominent 18th-century English poet. It begins by discussing the initial unauthorized publication of Pope's letters to Cromwell by the bookseller Curll, which, despite Pope's public disapproval, seemed to have pleased him due to the positive reception. This incident sparked Pope's interest in publishing more of his correspondence, leading to a series of complex and often deceitful maneuvers to release his letters without appearing to be directly involved. The text highlights Pope's manipulation of his friend, Lord Oxford, to lend credibility to the publication of his letters with Wycherley, under the guise of clearing Wycherley's reputation. Pope's actions are portrayed as a blend of vanity and strategic planning, aiming to enhance his literary stature while maintaining a facade of modesty. The narrative also touches on the editorial efforts of Warburton, who was entrusted with Pope's works after his death, and the subsequent editions by various editors, each bringing their own interpretations and biases. The text underscores the enduring complexity of Pope's character, oscillating between genuine literary genius and a propensity for deceit, as well as the challenges faced by editors in presenting an accurate and comprehensive view of his legacy.
