English poet. The Pope was born into a Catholic merchant family in London. He was seriously ill since childhood, short and hunched, but he showed extraordinary talent. He was able to export poetry when he was a teenager, and even adults envied him.
/kloc-at the age of 0/7, Pope wrote a collection of poems, Pastoral Poetry, and published a poetry paper, On Criticism, at the age of 23. His talent and literary accomplishment immediately attracted the attention of Addison and playwright Wycherley, and gradually became one of the central figures in English literature.
Pope's important work is Curly Robbery. The author describes the boring life of the British upper class with a funny hero, satirizing and attacking the cunning and hypocrisy of the princes and nobles at that time.
Pope's other important works include the satirical poem A Fool's Story, A Letter to Dr. Abbas Nott, and the philosophical theories Morality and On Man. In addition, he also translated Homer's epics "Heriat" and "Odyssey", which were important works in his life and had a great influence on the literary world at that time.
Pope is deeply influenced by French classical aesthetic principles in his literary creation. He advocates that poetry should imitate nature and appear in the form of beauty. He emphasized temperance and discipline. His poems "are not far-reaching in artistic conception and magnificent in verve", but they are exquisitely crafted and highly mature in rhyme and rhyme. He is good at winning by argument and philosophy, and stunning by irony; There are many beautiful aphorisms that have been passed down to this day. In particular, his poem "Heroes' Couplets" has achieved unprecedented perfection, which no one can surpass even today.
