About This Novel
"On Criticism: Yun Huan Jie" is one of the "Chinese Translation World Literature Masterpiece Series", in the poetry category, two long poems combined into one book. "An Essay on Criticism" (1711) is Pope's famous work. Its main purpose is to elucidate the principles of literary criticism. The poem has a total of 744 lines. Samuel Johnson considered the poem to be "a work of insight, subtlety of analysis, a depth of insight into human nature, and a depth of knowledge both ancient and modern, which even the most seasoned and experienced poets have seldom achieved." "The Rape of the Lock" (1717) is one of Pope's most widely known poems. It takes a farce in the upper class as an opportunity, uses fantastic imagination and gorgeous arrangements, and elucidates profound moral themes in a relaxed and humorous style. It has been praised by many Western commentators as an outstanding representative of satirical epics. The whole poem has a total of 794 lines (148 lines in Chapter 1, 142 lines in Chapter 2, 178 lines in Chapter 3, 176 lines in Chapter 4, and 150 lines in Chapter 5).
