ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the Gazetteer of place names in eighteenth-century London relevant to Pope’s poetry. Aldgate, one of the eight main gates or entrances to London, situated at the eastern end of the city. Bedlam, or Bethlehem hospital, the hospital for lunatics built in 1675 on the south side of the lower quarters of Moorfields, and adjacent to the north wall of the City. Billingsgate, the largest Watergate on the river Thames in the early eighteenth century, and the site of a great fish market in Thames Street, notorious for the 'shameless' language of its fishwives. Hungerford, Hungerford market was built in 1680 on the site of the modern Charing Cross Station. It obtained its name from being built on land owned by Sir Edward Hungerford. Blackmore's monotonous reading of his epic poetry echoes round the market, like the stall-holders cries, in The Dunciad, Book II: And Hungerford re-echoes, bawl for bawl.
