Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"An Essay on Man . . . was one of the most widely disseminated and well-known publications of the 18th century, notably impacting Enlightenment writers Voltaire, David Hume, Adam Smith, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Jones provides a reliable modern version." * Library Journal *
"The book is exemplary in its scholarship. [Jones] has unearthed a multiplicity of references and illuminates the antecedents of Pope's ideas with authority. This is an edition which should be recommended to every student and teacher of the poem…. There is no sensible criticism that could be levelled at his work in this volume." * Penniless Press *
"Jones's edition makes the energetically paradoxical Essay on Man accessible…. The introduction is extensive and excellent."---Robert Phiddian, Australian Book Review
