Examines the poetry of John Gay to get a more complete picture of his work and to analyze the validity of two common attitudes to the author: that he is the author of one successful-but-trivial play, the Beggar's Opera, or that he is a minor member of the Scriblerus Club notable for being a friend of Swift and Pope.
