Review
"Attempting to do for Pope what Martin Battestin did for the whole Augustan period in his Providence of Wit, Brownell traces Pope's interests, accomplishments, and opinions in painting, music, sculpture, architecture, and gardening. In his general ideas Brownell has nothing original to say, but it is delightful nonetheless to be reminded of so many Augustan artistic practices in so well written and splendidly illustrated a book."
