A mock-epic, it satirises a high-society quarrel between Arabella Fermor (the ""Belinda"" of the poem) and Lord Petre, who had snipped a lock of hair from her head without her permission. The satirical style is tempered, however, by a genuine and almost voyeuristic interest in the ""beau-monde"" (fashionable world) of 18th-century English society.

At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into what would be his only novel, ""The Picture of Dorian Gray"" (1890). The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama.

Since his death, Pope has been in a constant state of re-evaluation.
