1. (The name of) a mock epic poem by Alexander Pope, satirizing literary dunces (see dunce n. 4); a work resembling this in satirizing contemporary literary culture or exposing to ridicule the stupidity or idiocy of a particular group of people.The poem was originally published in 1728 and was expanded several times up to 1743.
