First published in 1740, this is a witty and irreverent look at the social scene and social ills of 18th century England, all seen through the eyes of our canine narrator, Pompey. A lap-dog passed from owner to owner during parties and soirees. A delightful and surprisingly modern take on pomp and pride in high and low social circles. This text has been republished here for its historical and cultural significance. Including a specially commissioned introduction on dogs in fiction.

Book Description
Originally published in 1974, this volume of The History of Pompey the Little includes a critical introduction and a biographical sketch of the author based on new material from unpublished documents, together with explanatory notes for the novel's many classical and contemporary allusions. Francis Coventry's The History of Pompey the Little was the talk of London in 1751; it continued to captivate readers throughout the century. Satirizing notable persons and events of its day, it startled the public by having as its 'hero' a Bologna lapdog, and created a new and popular form in English fiction - the 'spy'-novel with a non-human observer.
