What is education for? The question framed in the second half of the eighteenth century in England is still urgent. Posed in textbooks, histories, conduct books, economic treatises, novels, and other kinds of writing, it was asked about punishment, the classical curriculum, the low status of teachers, education of the poor, public school or private tutor, and the education of girls. Uses of Education shows the fundamental question to be about the potential and limits of Enlightenment thought as it seeks to be embodied in institutions.

This scholarly text is concerned with the character and work of Alexander Pope and with satiric verse. Pope belonged to a group called the Scriblerians of which Jonathon Swift was also a member. Pope had been savagely lampooned and criticized and this book contains two poems: one entitled 'An Epistle to the Dunces' (being those who had so savagely criticized Pope}; and the second a poem called 'The Difference Between Verbal and Practical Virtue' in which another admonishment is meted out to Pope's critics.
