Alexander Pope (21 May 1688 – 30 May 1744) was an 18th-century English poet. He is best known for his satirical verse, as well as for his translation of Homer. Famous for his use of the heroic couplet, he is the second-most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, after Shakespeare.
Alexander Pope was born to Alexander Pope Senior (1646–1717), a linen merchant of Plough Court, Lombard Street, London, and his wife Edith (née Turner) (1643–1733), who were both Catholics. Edith's sister Christiana was the wife of the famous miniature painter Samuel Cooper. Pope's education was affected by the recently enacted Test Acts, which upheld the status of the established Church of England and banned Catholics from teaching, attending a university, voting, or holding public office on pain of perpetual imprisonment. Pope was taught to read by his aunt, and went to Twyford School in about 1698/99. He then went to two Catholic schools in London. Such schools, while illegal, were tolerated in some areas.
The Pope (Latin: papa from Greek: πάππας pappas, a child's word for "father") is the Bishop of Rome and the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. The primacy of the Roman bishop is largely derived from his role as the traditional successor to Saint Peter, to whom Jesus is supposed to have given the keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and loosing", naming him as the "rock" upon which the church would be built. The current pope is Francis, who was elected on 13 March 2013, succeeding Benedict XVI.
The office of the Pope is the papacy. His ecclesiastical jurisdiction, the Diocese of Rome, is often called "the Holy See" or "the Apostolic See", the latter name being based upon the belief that the Bishop of Rome is the successor of Peter the Apostle. The Pope is considered one of the world's most powerful people because of his diplomatic and cultural influence. He is also head of state of Vatican City, a sovereign city-state entirely enclaved within the Italian capital city of Rome.

Plot: Sir Douglas Rolls had earned the reputation of being England's greatest barrister. But he has just been informed by Doctor Hackett, specialist on diseases of the heart, that overwork has taken its toll and if Sir Douglas does not take off for several months he stands a good chance of dying soon. Back in his chambers, a solicitor named Pope was waiting to see him. Pope's firm handled most of the important legal cases. Pope was there to ask Sir Douglas to take up the defense of his client, Leslie Locke. Sir Douglas's mind went back some twenty years when he was struggling for recognition, and he had been in love with a very beautiful girl ---Laura Hyde. Sir Douglas had never spoken of his love, however, because he was very poor, and wanted to be quite certain, before he married, that he would be able to give his wife every luxury. Another admirer of Laura at the time was a well-to-do, volatile and impetuous young artist who, before the plodding Rolls knew what was happening, had swept Laura off her feet and married her. The artist's name was Leslie Locke. Sir Douglas had never gotten over his love for Laura and had never taken any interest in any other woman since, and he and Laura had remained the closest of friends. Pope's client, charged with murder of a model he had been seeing, and going on trial for his life, was the man who had married Rolls' only-love. Sir Douglas, knowing it may kill him, takes the case, and fights with the last of his strength to save the life of the husband of the woman he has always loved. And, possibly, have to implicate Laura in the proceedings.

English poet Alexander Pope was born in 1688, during the Enlightenment period. He lived in an era of political turmoil and rebellion. Several of his poems remain classics to this day, including the Dunciad, the Rape of the Lock, and the Essay on Man. His translations of Homer (Iliad, Odyssey) brought him great wealth and with it he purchased a villa in Twickenham, where he created grottoes and gardens still in existence. Actor Louis Blois (last seen in The Allen Ginsberg Interview) lends his interpretation to the Pope canon at the Tibetan Art Museum in Staten Island. This is a FrenchQuarterLit.com production.

After civil rights lawyer Michelle Alexander published her book The New Jim Crow in 2010 on our dehumanizing system of incarceration, she ignited a national conversation about justice in America and sparked a movement. In her book, Alexander explores how the war on drugs, "get-tough" sentencing policies and racism has created a caste system similar to that of our segregationist past. Since then, Alexander has traveled the country to meet advocates and everyday Americans working to end mass incarceration in America — home to 25 percent of the world's prisoners, despite representing only five percent of the world's population. She tells Bill that she has seen a grassroots movement brewing in communities across the country, "There are enormous victories that are being achieved precisely bec...

(23 Jun 2017) LEADIN An exhibition featuring Renaissance artist Pintoricchio is aiming to dispel a long standing myth about Pope Alexander VI's young lover. Pintoricchio was practically accused of blasphemy by those who contended he used Giulia Farnese as the model for the Madonna in a wall painting that decorated the pontiff's private apartment. STORYLINE Was Renaissance artist Pintoricchio blasphemous or just wrongly accused? A summer exhibition of Pintoricchio's works at Rome's Capitoline Museums explores the controversy over whether the artist used Pope Alexander VI's young lover, Giulia Farnese, as the model for the Madonna in a wall painting that decorated the pontiff's private apartment.

The Iliad - Homer - Alexander Pope translation Book I - Read by Nick Gisburne Full Text: http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/h/homer/h8ip/ This is the first part of the Iliad, book 1 of 24, so as you can imagine this is a long-term project. If you haven't previously read the text it can be a little confusing because it's not always clear who is speaking - different names are used for the same person (Achilles is referred to as Pelides for example). With this in mind, I decided to visually display who is speaking - their names and a few lines of information about them become visible when they do so. Since Pope created this translation in the 18th century, some of the words he used may not be familiar, and so for several of them a small description will appear when they are mentioned. I've...
Class presentation about Pope and his mock epic, "The Rape of the Lock."
Pope’s Essay on Man, a masterpiece of concise summary in itself, can fairly be summed up as an optimistic enquiry into mankind’s place in the vast Chain of Being. Each of the poem’s four Epistles takes a different perspective, presenting Man in relation to the universe, as individual, in society and, finally, tracing his prospects for achieving the goal of happiness. In choosing stately rhyming couplets to explore his theme, Pope sometimes becomes obscure through compressing his language overmuch. By and large, the work is a triumphant exercise in philosophical poetry, communicating its broad and commonplace truths in superbly balanced phrases which remind us that Pope, alas, is one of the most quoted but least read writers in English: “Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never i...
LibriVox recording of The Rape of the Lock, by Alexander Pope. Read by Rhonda Federman. The Rape of the Lock is a mock-heroic narrative poem written by Alexander Pope, first published anonymously in Lintot's Miscellany in May 1712 in two cantos (334 lines), but then revised, expanded and reissued under Pope's name on March 2, 1714, in a much-expanded 5-canto version (794 lines). The final form was available in 1717 with the addition of Clarissa's speech on good humour. The poem satirizes a petty squabble by comparing it to the epic world of the gods. It was based on an incident recounted by Pope's friend, John Caryll. Arabella Fermor and her suitor, Lord Petre, were both from aristocratic recusant Catholic families at a period in England when under such laws as the Test Act, all denominat...

The Iliad (Pope Translation) - audiobook HOMER (c. 8th cen - c. 8th cen), translated by Alexander POPE (1688 - 1744) Homer’s Iliad is the first great work of Western literature. Composed in twenty-four books of Greek hexameter poetry, it portrays the events of the last year of the Trojan War. Its translation into rhyming couplets by Alexander Pope is considered by some the greatest act of translation in English. Its power sweeps the reader along through an epic tale that begins with the wrath of Achilles and ends with the burial of Hector, breaker of horses.

This is a librivox recording of An Essay on Criticism by Alexander Pope. Recording by Aringguth. An Essay on Criticism was the first major poem written by the English writer Alexander Pope (1688-1744). However, despite the title, the poem is not as much an original analysis as it is a compilation of Pope’s various literary opinions. A reading of the poem makes it clear that he is addressing not so much the ingenuous reader as the intending writer. It is written in a type of rhyming verse called heroic couplets.
