Alexander Pope (1688-1744), is regarded 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 Dunciad", and "An Essay on Man", as well as for his translation of "Homer". "The Works of Alexander Pope Esq. In Nine Volumes" was published in 1751, and became the primary ultimate edition of Pope's works.
