1、李林森简历篇一:Pope的生平简历 English poet, born in Lombard Street, London, on the 21st of May 1688. His father, also Alexander Pope, a Roman Catholic, was a linen-draper who afterwards retired from business with a small fortune, and fixed his residence about 1700 at Binfield in Windsor Forest. Popes education
2、was desultory. His fathers religion would have excluded him from the public schools, even had there been no other impediment to his being sent there. Before he was twelve he had obtained a smattering of Latin and Greek from various masters, from a priest in Hampshire, from a schoolmaster at Twyford
3、near Winchester, from Thomas Deane, who kept a school in Marylebone and afterwards at Hyde Park Corner, and finally from another priest at home. Between his twelfth and his seventeenth years excessive application to study undermined his health, and he developed the personal deformity which was in so
4、 many ways to distort his view of life. Pope would have despised so easy a metamorphosis as this at any period in his career, and the work of his coadjutors in the Odyssey may be distinguished by this comparative cheapness of material. Broomes description of the clothes-washing by Nausicaa and her m
5、aidens in the sixth book may be compared with the original as a luminous specimen. Popes wit had won for him the friendship of many distinguished men, and his small fortune enabled him to meet them on a footing of independence. He paid long visits at many great houses, especially at Stanton Harcourt
6、, the home of his friend Lord Chancellor Harcourt; at Oakley, the seat of Lord Bathurst; and at Prior Park, Bath, where his host was Ralph Allen. With the last named he had a temporary disagreement owing to some slight shown to Martha Blount, but he was reconciled to him before his death. He died on
7、 the 30th of May 1744, and he was buried in the parish church of Twickenham. He left the income from his property to Martha Blount until her death, after which it was to go to his half-sister Magdalen Rackett and her children. His unpublished manuscripts were left at the discretion of Lord Bolingbro
8、ke, and his copyrights to Warburton. If we are to judge Pope, whether as a man or as a poet, with human fairness, and not merely by comparison with standards of abstract perfection, there are two features of his times that must be kept steadily in view - the character of political strife in those da
9、ys and the political relations of men of letters. As long as the succession to the Crown was doubtful, and political failure might mean loss of property, banishment or death, politicians, playing for higher stakes, played more fiercely and unscrupulously than in modern days, and there was no control
10、ling force of public opinion to keep them within the bounds of common honesty. Hence the age of Queen Anne is preeminently an age of intrigue. The government was almost as unsettled as in the early days of personal monarchy, and there was this difference -that it was policy rather than force upon wh
11、ich men depended for keeping their position. Secondly, men of letters were admitted to the inner circles of intrigue as they had never been before and as they have never been since. A generation later Walpole defied them, and paid the rougher instruments that he considered sufficient for his purpose
12、 in solid coin of the realm; but Queen Annes statesmen, whether from difference of tastes or difference of policy, paid their principal literary champions with social privileges and honorable public appointments. Hence men of letters were directly infected by the low political morality of the unsett
13、led time. And the character of their poetry also suffered. The most prominent defects of the age - the lack of high and sustained imagination, the genteel liking for “nature to advantage dressed”, the incessant striving after wit - were fostered, if not generated, by the social atmosphere. Popes own
14、 ruling passion was the love of fame, and he had no scruples where this was concerned. His vanity and his childish love of intrigue are seen at their worst in his petty manoeuvres to secure the publication of his letters during his lifetime. These intricate proceedings were uavelled with great patie
15、nce and ingenuity by Charles Wentworth Duke, when the false picture of his relations with his contemporaries which Pope had imposed on the public had been practically accepted for a century. Elizabeth Thomas, the mistress of Hey Cromwell, had sold Popes early letters to Hey Cromwell to the bookselle
16、r Curll for ten guineas. These were published in Curlls Miscellanea in 1726 (dated 1727), and had considerable success. This surreptitious publication seems to have suggested to Pope the desirability of publishing his own correspondence, which he immediately began to collect from various friends on
17、the plea of preventing a similar clandestine transaction. The publication by Wycherleys executors of a posthumous volume of the dramatists prose and verse furnished Pope with an excuse for the appearance of his own correspondence with Wycherley, which was accompanied by a series of unnecessary decep
18、tions. After manipulating his correspondence so as to place his own character in the best light, he deposited a copy in the library of Edward, second earl of Oxford, and then he had it printed. The sheets were offered to Curll by a person calling himself “P.T.”, who professed a desire to injure Pope
19、, but was no other than Pope himself. The copy was delivered to Curll in 1735 after long negotiations by an agent who called himself “R. Smythe”, with a few originals to vouch for their authenticity. “P.T.” had drawn up an advertisement stating that the book was to contain answers from various peers
20、. Curll was summoned before the House of Lords for breach of privilege, but was acquitted, as the letters from peers were not in fact forthcoming. Difficulties then arose between Curll and “P.T.”, and Pope induced a bookseller named Cooper to publish a Narrative of the Method by which Mr. Popes Priv
21、ate Letters were procured by Edmund Curli,Bookseller (1735). These preliminaries cleared the way for a show of indignation against piratical publishers and a “genuine” edition of the Letters of Mr. Alexander Pope (1737, folio and 4to). Unhappily for Popes reputation, his friend Caryll, who died befo
22、re the publication, had taken a copy of Popes letters before returning them. This letter-book came to light in the middle of the 19th century, and showed the freedom which Pope permitted himself in editing. The correspondence with Lord Oxford, preserved at Longleat, afforded further evidence of his
23、tortuous dealings. The methods he employed to secure his correspondence with Swift were even more discreditable. The proceedings can only be explained as the measures of a desperate man whose maladies seem to have engendered a passion for trickery. They are related in detail by Elwin in the introduc
24、tion to volume I of Popes Works. A man who is said to have “played the politician about cabbages and turnips”, and who “hardly drank tea without a stratagem”, was not likely to be straightforward in a matter in which his ruling passion was concerned. Against Popes petulance and “general love of secr
