Alexander Pope was celebrated for his command of classical Greek and produced seminal translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Prior to the preparation of these translations, Pope took advantage of his mastery of the classical style and also his waspish wit to compose a burlesque epic about the theft of a lock of hair. The incident that inspired Pope was related to him by his friend John Caryll. Lord Petre had cut off a lock of the hair of Arabella Fermor, whom he was courting at the time, without asking the lady's permission.

Lejos de Roma trata sobre el exilio del poeta romano Ovidio. Se acude a la historia pero no se agota en ella. Está atravesada de erudición, erotismo y poesía. Pero estos elementos no son un obstáculo. Al contrario, ayudan a construir una visión contemporánea de una las grandes figuras del exilio literario. Conformada por capítulos breves, trazados con exquisitez y precisión, Lejos de Roma apuesta por una nueva forma de abordar la historia.
