Curll, Edmund (1683–1747), a bookseller and pamphleteer who specialized in scandalous biographies, seditious pamphlets, pirated works, and pornography; he was imprisoned in 1724 for publishing Venus in the Cloister: or The Nun in her Smock (a characteristic title), but denied that it was his. Pope, who pilloried him in The Dunciad, was involved in various manoeuvres to encourage Curll to publish an unauthorized edition of his letters (which he did, in 1735).
