Solomon (English, Auburn U.) deconstructs the two centuries of criticism of Pope's long philosophical poem, which was loved by his contemporaries, and has been denigrated and trivialized by recent critics. He concludes that literary critics should not try to interpret philosophy. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
