The rape of the lock : an heroi-comical poem in five cantos ([New ed.])

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SOPHIE GEEA hideous crime is committed at a fashionable London society gathering.

The victim is the beautiful, innocent Belinda, her attacker is the dastardly Baron, and his weapon of choice is a pair of scissors... Pope's mock-epic is the sharp and witty tale of the most famous bad hair day in the history of literature.
