Please let me know of any recent (post-1990) articles on The Rape of the Lock not included in the above list. I hope to create a list of "classic" (i.e., pre-1990) articles of special interest to students of the poem--your suggestions would be deeply appreciated, and can be mailed to me using the e-mail address on the home page.
