Pope's admired Horace and Vergilius and valued them as models for poetry. His great achievements was the translations of Iliad and Odyssey into English. The success of Pope's translations enabled him to move to Twickenham from anti-Catholic pressure of the Jacobites. However, Pope remained a Catholic even after the death of his father (d. 1717) and mother (d. 1733). Pope's collected works were published in 1717. He was one of the first professional poets to be self-sufficient as a result of his non-dramatic writings.

Alexander Pope was born in London as the son of Alexander Pope, a Roman Catholic linen-merchant, and Edith (Turner) Pope, who was forty-four when Alexander, her only child, was born. Edith Pope belonged to a large Yorkshire family, which divided along Catholic and Protestant lines. His early years Pope spent at Binfield on the edge of Windsor Forest, and recalled this period as a golden age: "Thy forests, Windsor, and thy green retreats, / At once the monarch's and the Muse's seats, / Invite my lays. Be present, sylvan maids! Unlock your springs, and open all your shades." Anecdotes from Pope's life were deemed worthy of collecting during his lifetime. Joseph Spence, a critic, minor poet, and Pope's biographer, tells that Pope was "a child of a particularly sweet temper and had a great deal of sweetness in his look when he was a boy".

“所有的自然之物,是人类未解的艺术 所有的偶然,都有看不见的方向 所有的不和,是和谐未被人领悟
所有的小恶,是大善的另一种模样。”

Alexander Pope
Alexander Pope,1688年5月21日 - 1744年5月30日, 是18世纪英国最伟大的诗人,杰出的启蒙主义者。 English essayist, critic, satirist, and one of the greatest poets of Enlightenment. Pope wrote his first verses at the age of 12. His breakthrough work, AN ESSAY ON CRITICISM (1711), appeared when he was twenty-three. It included the famous line "a little learning is a dangerous thing." Pope's physical defects made him an easy target for heartless mockery, but he was also considered a leading literary critic and the epitome of English Neoclassicism.
中后期作品
1713年起,他着手翻译荷马的史诗 《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》。 蒲柏的代表作是讽刺长诗《鬈发遇 劫记》(TheRapeoftheLock, 1714),诗人称之为“英雄滑稽诗” (AnHeroi-ComicalPoem)。 蒲柏的其他诗作还有讽刺长诗《愚 人志》(TheDunciad,1742)、哲 理诗《道德论》(MoralEssays, 1731-1735)、《人论》 (AnEssayonMan,1734)和《与 阿布斯诺博士书》 (EpistletoDr.Arbuthnot,1735)等。
