Alexander Pope is rewarded as one of the greatest English poets, and the foremost poet of the early eighteenth century. He is best known for his satirical and discursive poetry, including The Rape of The Lock, The Dunciad and An Essay on Criticism, as well as his translation of Homer. After William Shakespeare, Pope is the second-most quoted writer in the English language, as per the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. He is considered a master of the heroic couplet. RARES1822HMNA.
