An 18th-century English poet, Alexander Pope was best known for his satirical verse and for his translation of the works of Homer. Born in London, England, he was raised as a Catholic, which proved to be a matter of concern as Catholics were barred of their fundamental rights and forcefully ousted from London. He nevertheless didn't let this hamper his learning ability. Since an early age, he was inspired by the works of classical literary figures Horace, Juvenal, Homer, Virgil, William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer and John Dryden. Throughout his life, he came up major works titled, ‘Pastorals’, ‘Essays on Criticism’, ‘Essay on Man’, ‘The Rape of the Lock’, ‘Windsor Forest’ . His masterpiece was ‘The Dunciad’ published in 1728. His works are mostly written in the heroic couplet style.
