It was established as The Scriblerian in 1968 at Temple University (by Roy Wolper, Peter A. Tasch, and Arthur J. Weitzman)[1] and changed its name to include the Kit-Cats in 1971 to reflect initial coverage of scholarship about the Scriblerus Club and Kit-Cat Club respectively.[2][3] By 1979 it expanded its coverage again, and published such texts as Alexander Pope's Pastorals.[4]
