	Scriblerus Club - Encyclopedia.com
		Scriblerus Club English literary group formed about 1713 to satirize "all the false tastes in learning." Among its chief members were Arbuthnot, Gay, Thomas Parnell, Pope, and Swift.
		The club's major production, "Memoirs of … Martinus Scriblerus," was published in Pope's prose works in 1741, although it is considered to be primarily the work of Arbuthnot.
		The influence of the club is seen in Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Pope's Dunciad.

	Scriblerus Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scriblerus Club was an informal group of friends that included Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, John Gay, John Arbuthnot, and Thomas Parnell.
		Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Mortimer occasionally joined the club for meetings, though he is not known to have contributed to any of their literary work.
		The club began as a project of satirizing the abuses of learning wherever they might be found, which led to The Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus.

	Michael Meehan TEXT Special Issue No 4
		The Scriblerus Club, Pope, Gay, Swift, Parnell, Harley and Arbuthnot, still provide us with analytical models, startling and defamiliarising representations through which we may interpret and evaluate the carnal dimension, the fleshly rituals of the modern writer's festival.
		Martin Scriblerus was potentially everywhere, subtly white-anting every literary text on the market, opening up parodies where no parody was intended, diffusing authorship beyond any theological model of control, and authorising a new and subversive mode of reading of a kind that Barthes would certainly approve.
		The Scriblerian project was one where, as Charles Kirby-Miller writes in his edition of the Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus in 1950, 'definite boundaries and limits are difficult to establish' (1950, p 1): all that one read, and indeed, all that one wrote, was at least potentially, a part of the Scriblerian project.

	Middle East Open Encyclopedia: John Arbuthnot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		He is best remembered today for his contributions to mathematics, his membership in the Scriblerus Club (where he inspired both Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels book III and Alexander Pope's Peri Bathos, Memoirs of Martin Scriblerus, and possibly The Dunciad), and for inventing the figure of John Bull.
		The Club met for only a year, for Anne died in July of 1714, and the Club met for the last time in November of that year.
		Arbuthnot is one of the founding members of the Scriblerus Club, and he was regarded by the other wits of the club as the funniest, but Arbuthnot left fewer literary remains than the other members of the club.

		The club's members were scattered when the Tories fell from power after Queen Anne's death in 1714.
		However, the ideas initiated at this time saw fruit in various later works, in particular Pope's Dunciad">Dunciad, many of the notes of which are signed `Scriblerus', and in the satire on science and learning in the third book of Swift's Gulliver's%20Travels">Gulliver's Travels.

		Scriblerus (Hesperus, £ 5.99) by Alexander Pope is a delightful satire on the idiocies of false learning, fashionable taste and contemporary scholarship, written by one of the most brilliant and facetious moralists in the England of Queen Anne.
		It crystallizes the ambience of merciless wit fostered by the Scriblerus Club established by Pope and Jonathan Swift in 1714.
		But it is difficult to see how it contributes to “serious writing on cinema”, as its compilers hope in their introduction.

		The Scriblerus Club formed in the midst of this "cultural revolution" to protest what they feared to be a degradation of scholarly values.
		According to Joseph Levine, the mind of the gentleman-scholar was understood, to the Scriblerians, as a collective repository of "polite learning" and "classical literary education," sought less for advances in empirical thinking than to "furnish the necessary polish to allow him to shine in the fashionable circles of the great world" (cited in Lund 37).
		The principle work of the club was to be a full dress biography of their hero in which they would introduce him to the public and lay the foundation for any future exploits they might devise.

		The work in consequence was never completed, the first book of ‘the Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus’ being only a part of it.
		The medical and antiquarian knowledge displayed in the other chapters, and the ridicule on Dr. Woodward in the third, afford strong presumption of their having had the same authorship as the rest.
		His spirits appear to have suffered considerably at this time, for, in a letter to Pope, dated September 7th, 1714, he says, "I am extremely obliged to you for taking notice of a poor, old, distressed courtier, commonly the most despisable thing in the world.

	[minstrels] The Riddle of the World -- Alexander Pope
		For the etymology buffs, the derivation of 'satire' is from the Latin 'satura' (which meant originally something like"medley" or "miscellany") but all subsequent verb extensions were taken from the Greek word for satyr (saturos) and so 'satirize', 'satiric' et al are of Greek origin.
		The collaboration of the five writers on the Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus began as early as 1713 and led to frequent, spirited meetings when they were all in London.
		Although Pope is credited with originating the character of Scriblerus, most of the ideas were Arbuthnot's, and he was the most industrious of the collaborators.

	Scriblerus Secundus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Critics and commentators have used the term 'Scriblerian' to refer to members of a club founded in 1713—the Scriblerus Club—composed of such writers as Alexander Pope, John Arbuthnot, and Jonathan Swift.
		The Scriblerus Club was founded with the desire to 'riducule false tastes in learning'; members of the club tended to define themselves in opposition to professional or 'hack' writers lacking in traditional cultural capital.
		So, while Pope and the conservative, aristocratic-leaning members of the Scriblerus Club harshly condemned the tribe of scribblers, the 'deluge of authors' set loose upon London by the lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695, they came to be themselves identified as Scriblerians.

		This ironical piece of work was not so popular as "John Bull." "'Tis very pretty", says Swift, "but not so obvious to be understood." Arbuthnot advises that a lie should not be contradicted by the truth, but by another judicious lie.
		Arbuthnot was one of the leading spirits in the Scriblerus Club, the members of which were to collaborate in a universal satire on the abuses of learning.
		The Memoirs of the extraordinary Life, Works, and Discoveries of Martinus Scriblerus, of which only the first book was finished, first printed in Pope's Works (1741), was chiefly the work of Arbuthnot, who is at his best in the whimsical account of the birth and education of Martin.

		Peri Bathous has its origins in the meetings of the Scriblerus Club, a group of five Tory writers and friends, Pope, Swift, Dr Arbuthnot, Gay, and Parnell, occasionally joined by a sixth person, Queen Anne's minister, Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford.
		The meetings of the club came to a somewhat abrupt end with the death of Queen Anne on 1 August 1714 and the subsequent fall from power of the Tory Government.
		Although Peri Bathous originated as part of the overall collective Scriblerian enterprise, and Dr Arbuthnot, in particular, had a strong hand in it, it is generally accepted that Pope was the prime mover and leading author.

		The Scriblerus club and its politico-literary agenda was their conscious pretext and was, no doubt, a common ground.
		Later in the eighteenth century, the "Dilettanti" (young connoisseurs taking the Grand Tour who collected "marbles" abroad and retrieved them to England) followed in their footsteps.
		The Scriblerian enterprise represents an activity lying somewhere between the purely hedonistic pleasures of the Augustan clubs (the dissipated Beefstakes, Macaronis, and Medmenham Monks) and the formal "colleges of authors" populated by "scheming projectors" of the type Swift ridiculed in Gulliver's Travels.
