Anglo-Norman language
Pope taught a number of notable medievalists including Eugène Vinaver, Dominica Legge and Dorothy Sayers; the character Miss Lydgate in Sayers' "Gaudy Night" (1935) is based on Pope. One of her most enduring achievements was the foundation in 1937 of the Anglo-Norman Text Society, a learned society dedicated to the promotion of the study of Anglo-Norman language and literature which is still operating today. In the Society's Annual Texts series, she contributed to critical editions of "La Seinte Resureccion" and the "Romance of Horn". Her most important publication was "From Latin to Modern French, with Especial Consideration of Anglo-Norman" (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1934; revised reprints 1952 and 1956), which over seventy years after its original publication has been described as 'classic and still indispensable'.
