Über diesen Titel
Alexander Pope (1688-1744) was the most notable literary figure of his time, just as John Dryden (1631-1700) had been of the preceding age. He was born in London, the son of a prosperous linen merchant, and to his dying day, he remained the poet of the town rather than of the country.
Pope's poetic activity began at an early age and continued, despite lifelong ill health, until the end. His extensive output includes epistles, pastorals, satires, and translations from the classics. His best-known works are The Rape of the Lock, The Essay on Criticism, The Essay on Man, The Dunciad, translations of both the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer, and his various Epistles. All these works are written in highly polished verse, generally in the form of heroic couplets, and are noted for their wit, succinctness, and brilliance.
