A Key to the Lock is a treatise written by Barnivelt, Esdras in 1723 that argues against the poem The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope. The book claims that the poem is dangerous to both government and religion, and provides evidence to support this claim. The author argues that the poem promotes immorality and trivializes serious issues, such as the violation of women's rights. The book also critiques the poem's use of satire and its potential to incite rebellion against authority. Overall, A Key to the Lock is a critical analysis of The Rape of the Lock and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
