Inspired by a real social quarrel, it transforms the cutting of a young woman's lock of hair into the subject of a grand mock-heroic epic. Pope uses the exaggerated style of classical poetry to satirise fashionable society, vanity and trivial disputes. Elegant, witty and technically brilliant, the poem remains one of the finest examples of English satirical verse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216448962899,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421134963027,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-rape-of-the-lock-folio-society-718","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
