He is best remembered for The Beggar's Opera ), set to music by Johann Christoph Pepusch . The characters, including Captain Macheath and Polly Peachum, became household names. Biography Gay was born in Barnstaple, England and was educated at the town's grammar school . On leaving school he was apprenticed to a silk mercer in London , but being weary, according to Samuel Johnson , "of either the restraint or the servility of his occupation," he soon returned to Barnstaple, where he spent some time with his uncle, the Rev. John Hanmer, the Nonconformist minister of the town. He then returned to London. The dedication of his Rural Sports ) to Alexander Pope was the beginning of a lasting friendship. In , Gay wrote The Shepherd's Week , a series of six pastorals drawn from English rustic life. Pope had urged him to undertake this task in order to ridicule the Arcadia n pastorals of Ambrose Philips , who had been praised by The Guardian , to the neglect of Pope's claims as the first pastoral writer of the age and the true English Theocritus . Gay's pastorals completely achieved this goal, but his ludicrous pictures of the English country lads and their loves were found to be entertaining on their own account.

70. Satire In The Work Of Jonathan Swift And John Gay (Swift. preface to The Battle of the Books). John Gay 16851732. Satire. . . should be true up to a certain point wrote George Eliot. http://www.english-literature.org/essays/swift_gay.html

Jonathan Swift and John Gay: Satire in the works of Swift and Gay by Catherine Cooper English Literature Home Page Course Summary English Literature Resources English Literature Essays ... Contact Us Jonathan Swift Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own, which is the chief reason so few are offended by it. (Swift. preface to The Battle of the Books) John Gay 'Satire . . . should be true up to a certain point' wrote George Eliot. The best and most disturbing satire almost always has a large element of possible truth to it. In this essay I wish to examine how writers, particularly Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and John Gay (1685-1732) have satirized the nature of man and his place in the great Chain of Being. Gulliver's Travels In Swift's Gulliver's Travels the observations on man are particularly astute and the satire particularly disturbing. Swift wrote the work 'to vex the world rather than divert it' and it has been considered by many to be a deeply misanthropic novel. Swift was, indeed, a misanthrope to a certain extent. He said he hated mankind but found it possible to love individuals. However, this seems difficult to believe when the bleak light in which Gulliver sees the human race by the end of the novel is observed.

JOHN GAY Born: 1685 (baptized September 16), Barnstaple, England Died: December 4, 1732, London English poet and dramatist. Best known for The Beggar's Opera You've probably heard "Weird Al" Yankovic on the radio or recordings, or turned on PBS and seen Mark Russell. Each of them sings other people's songs, but with their own, often satirical words added to make the lyrics relevant and funny. This is called parody and it is exactly what John Gay did with his Beggar's Opera . To create what came to be known as a ballad opera, he concocted a plot that lampooned not only the morals of eighteenth-century London, but also the style of Italian opera seria. In doing so, he played to the interests of a broad segment of society and helped to bring about changes on the opera stage. This wide appeal made The Beggar's Opera the most successful theater event of the century. The sources for his songs were equally broad, from parodies of operatic works by George Frideric Handel (the leading composer of Italian opera in England) to folk and popular songs that dated back over a hundred years. The work's influence continued into the twentieth century, when Kurt Weill and Bertold Brecht created a modern version, the Threepenny Opera WORKS: Ballad operas: The Beggar's Opera Polly (1728, but banned) and

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback John Gay (1685-1732) English poet and dramatist, friend of Pope and Swift. Gay is remembered for his play THE BEGGAR'S OPERA (1728), which was the basis for Kurt Weil and Bertold Brecht 's classical work Dreigroschenoper (1928, The Threepenny Opera). The play was highly successful and enabled Gay to spent more money on gambling and drinking. Its sequel, POLLY (1729), was supposedly suppressed by the prime minister Robert Walpole, who thus only incited people to buy its printed version. Let us drink and sport to-day, Ours is not to-morrow: Love with youth flies swift away, Age is naught but sorrow. Dance and sing, Time's on the wing, Life never knows the return of spring. (from The Beggar's Opera In 1708 Gay published 'Wine', a poem to celebrate the Act of Union between England and Scotland and in 1711 he published the pamphlet THE PRESENT STATE OF WIT. During these years he met Pope and began to visit the fashionable coffee-houses. In London Gay supported himself by working as a journalist. His first important poem, THE RURAL SPORTS (1713), was dedicated to Pope. The long poem comically glorifies descriptions of hunting and fishing. THE WHAT D'YE CALL IT (1715) was Gay's first satirical play, which he finished at the age of 30. The Beggar's Opera was first performed when the author was 43. John Pepusch, a German musician, wrote popular songs for the play. The story of highwaymen and corrupt law-keepers is still performed. Its sequel

Educated at the local grammar school, he was apprenticed to a silk mercer for a brief time before commencing his literary career in London. The first of his writings to have any real merit were the mock pastoral, The Shepherd's Week (1714), and Trivia (1716), an amusing description of London life. He is remembered chiefly today for his ballad opera, The Beggar's Opera (1728), a lighthearted story of highwaymen and thieves, which satirizes both the corruption of contemporary genteel society and the then current fashion for Italian opera. Its sequel, Polly, written the following year, was suppressed by Sir Robert Walpole since it (like The Beggar's Opera ) ridiculed his government. Gay was also the author of two books of verse called
