To complete a study which explores the ideological implications of 18th century art as epitomized in the various artistic endeavors of Alexander Pope, who was at once a poet, painter and landscape designer. Because the visual and the literary arts were so closely associated throughout the period, they tended to reflect the same body of assumptions and shared a common ideological outlook. PI believes that modes of artistic containment relate to forms of political, epistemological or territorial control.
