Wit's Wild Dancing Light acts as a highly useful entry point for readers who are encountering Pope for the first time and also contains much illuminating material for those who are already familiar with his poetry.

-Dr Ian Calvert, University of Bristol


The book is a chronological reading of Alexander Pope's poems, from the Pastorals (1709) to the four-book Dunciad (1743). Each of the 26 chapters forming the volume selects examples for detailed scrutiny, demonstrating how close reading can generate understanding of a whole poem and how critical appraisal can build into a creative survey of an entire poetic career. The book's approach is intended to be both scholarly and accessible and Wild Wit's Dancing Light will be of interest to scholars, students and anybody interested in Pope's masterful poetry.


William Hutchings was formerly Senior Lecturer in English Literature and Director of the Centre for Excellence in Enquiry-Based Learning at the University of Manchester, UK and he is presently Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures at that university. He now lectures regularly to public groups locally and nationally. He has a wealth of teaching experience on English Literature courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and is the editor of Andrew Marvell: Selected Poems, the author of The Poetry of William Cowper, and Literary Criticism: A Practical Guide for Students.
