Alexander Pope biography

Literary Encyclopedia. Belongs to those immigrants from the bourgeoisie, which, becoming the ideologists of the aristocracy, strive to erase traces of their bourgeois origin in every way. Turning with their class, they do not always merge with another, and their work is usually full of contradictions between their subjective intentions and the features of the bourgeois culture that they bring to the noble literature.

The first significant work of P. But in the next work - “The Rape of the Lock” the abduction of the curl - P. in a solemn size, in a high “Shtil” tells how a stupid youth abducted from the stiff girl Locon. The plot is taken from real life. Democratic criticism and reader took this poem as a parody of the style of aristocracy.

In relation to nature, the pop is a direct predecessor of Thomson, the author of the “seasons”, although he is trying to stay on the positions of classicism and defend them from the influence of bourgeois literature. Continuing to involuntarily reflect the bourgeois influences, this poet serving the aristocracy in some works as “Elegy to the Memory of An Unfortunate Lady” Elegy of the Missing Lady, or “Eloisa To Ablard,” Eloise to Abelar, came very close to the bourgeois sentimentalism.

God created the world and moved away, the laws of the world are eternal and unshakable.

This “inviolability of the world” meant primarily the inviolability of social forms. But even in the “experience of man” P., this caused the discontent of aristocratic readers. In justification, he wrote the Universal Prayer “World Prayer”, which went unnoticed. In addition, P. Translations are very far from the original. The theoretician of classicism, Pop edited Shakespeare's works, who completely did not satisfy even contemporaries of the priest in his editing technique.
