The first study dedicated to the relationship between Alexander Pope and George Berkeley, this book undertakes a comparative reading of their work on the visual environment, economics and providence, challenging current ideas of the relationship between poetry and philosophy in early eighteenth-century Britain. It shows how Berkeleys idea that the phenomenal world is the language of God, learnt through custom and experience, can help to explain some of Popes conservative sceptical arguments, and also his virtuoso poetic techniques.
