Introduction

The writer I have chosen is Alexander Pope, the rationale behind choosing Alexander Pope is to prove the fact that Pope is reported as the dominant poetic figure, a spokesman for careful and critical of the Augustan age, whose lines were given the prevalence of intellect and imagination on the statement of standards of moral and aesthetic judgments as the only valid. The tone of his speeches varies from irony to know burlesque solemnity, gentle humor to the intangible melancholy (Bonamy, pp. 66). The same skills can be found in the verbal translation of "Homeros", marked by lyrical grandeur.
