You certainly don't know any of his poetry. Or do you? Ever heard the expression "a little learning is a dangerous thing"? That's from Pope. How about "fools rush in where angels fear to tread". No, it's not Elvis Presley. Or "To err is human, to forgive divine"? Pope again. Or "Woman's at best, a contradiction still"? The hoary old chauvinist is Alexander Pope. Read Pope and you continually come across bits you already know, quotations you thought were from Shakespeare or Anonymous. Alexander Pope in his day was the master of the one-liner. Or two-liner actually, since much of his work is in rhyming couplets. For example, that famous passage about forgiveness is half of: Good nature and good sense must ever join

Pope, Alexander (1688-1744) English poet whose Essay on Man was one of the most admired poems of the 18th century. It was admired as much for its ideas as its art. Its most famous couplet is "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is Man." The poem alluded to such philosophical concepts as the Great Chain of Being (the idea that the universe is in the form of a hierarchy which starts at the top with God, the most perfect being, and works its way down through the angels, man, the animals and so on) and philosophical optimism . Philosophical optimism, which was grounded in the work of the German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz Voltaire , an admirer of the Essay when it was first published in 1733, turned against it more than 20 years later following the tragedy of the Lisbon earthquake which claimed 10,000 lives. It just wasn't possible, he argued, to look at the Portuguese corpses and still maintain that it was all part of a greater plan and shouldn't worry us too much. Voltaire returned to the attack four years later in his famous play Candide in which he mercilessly lampooned philosophical optimism. The Leibniz/Pope character in Candide is the old tutor Pangloss who, whatever horrors befall others, simply repeats that everything's for the best in the best of all possible worlds.

Table of Contents Previous Chapter Next Chapter ALEXANDER POPE On a certain Lady at Court (Envy, be silent and attend!) I know a reasonable woman, Handsome and witty, yet a friend. Not grave through pride, nor gay through folly, An equal mixture of good-humour And sensible soft melancholy. Yes, she has one, I must aver: When all the world conspires to praise her, Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade? Why dimly gleams the visionary sword? O, ever beauteous, ever friendly! tell, To bear too tender or too firm a heart, Is there no bright reversion in the sky For those who greatly think, or bravely die? Above the vulgar flight of low desire? Ambition first sprung from your blest abodes; The glorious fault of angels and of gods; Thence to their images on earth it flows, And in the breasts of kings and heroes glows. Dim lights of life, that burn a length of years, Useless, unseen, as lamps in sepulchres; Like Eastern kings a lazy state they keep

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Alexander Pope (1688-1744) English essayist, critic, satirist, and one of the greatest poets of Enlightenment. Pope wrote his first verses at the age of 12. His breakthrough work, AN ESSAY ON CRITICISM (1711), appeared when he was twenty-three. It included the famous line "a little learning is a dangerous thing." Pope's physical defects made him an easy target for heartless mockery, but he was also considered a leading literary critic and the epitome of English Neoclassicism. "Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be." (from An Essay on Criticism Alexander Pope was born in London as the son of Alexander Pope, a Roman Catholic linen-merchant, and Edith (Turner) Pope. She was forty-four, and belonged to a large Yorkshire family which divided along Catholic and Protestant lines. At that time Catholics suffered from repressive legislation and prejudices - they were not allowed to enter any universities or held public employment. Thus Pope had an uneven education, which was often interrupted. He was largely educated at home. Pope's aunt taught him to read. Latin and Greek he learned from a local priest and later he acquired knowledge of French and Italian poetry. Pope also attended clandestine Catholic schools. While still at school he wrote a play based on speeches from the Iliad Most of his time Pope spend reading books from his father's library - he "did nothing but write and read," said later his half-sister. In 1700, when his family moved to Bonfield in Windsor Forest, Pope contracted tuberculosis through infected milk. It was probably Pott's disease, a tubercular affection of the spine. He also suffered from asthma and headaches, and his humpback was a constant target for his critics in literary battles - Pope was called a 'hunchbacked toad.' In middle age he was 4ft 6in tall and wore a stiffened canvas bodice to support his spine.

FICHA Nacionalidad: Inglaterra Londres 21-6-1688 - 1744 Hijo de un comerciante londinense, sufrió una grave enfermedad durante su infancia, posiblemente tuberculosis, que le dejó deforme. Hasta los 12 años recibió clases impartidas por teólogos y sacerdotes, completando su formación de forma autodidacta, interesándose por la literatura inglesa, francesa, italiana, latina y griega. En 1704 comenzó la carrera literaria introducido por el dramaturgo William Wycherley en un círculo literario donde alcanzó pronto un elevado prestigio. Con "Pastorals" recibió el primer éxito popular en 1709, pero será tres años después cuando alcance la fama con "El rizo robado", obra en la que hace una ácida crítica de la vida social de su tiempo. El escaso alcance de su siguiente obra -"El bosque de Windsor", 1713- le impulsó hacia la traducción de la "Iliada" y la "Odisea" de Homero . El éxito alcanzado con las traducciones le llevaron a publicar un libro de poemas (1717) y una edición de las obras de Shakespeare . A los 29 años se instala en una casa de campo en Twickenham, al oeste de Londres, donde permanecerá hasta su muerte. Allí recibió las visitas de los personajes más famosos de la época, manteniendo una estrecha amistad con Jonathan Swift y John Gay. Junto a Swift realizó una serie de trabajos críticos de los escritores de su tiempo lo que motivó la reacción de éstos. Una de sus obras más famosas -"La Dunciada", 1728- estará vinculada a este enfrentamiento y en ella celebrará la estupidez. Siguiendo la misma línea crítica, realizó "Imitaciones de Horacio" en la que atacó a los enemigos políticos de sus amigos.
