This title was first published in 2002: Making use of the growing
body of research in recent years on the nature of creativity, Netta
Goldsmith here presents a new view of the famous poet whose
personality has long frustrated scholars as elusive. Goldsmith
tells the story of Pope's life so as to show the factors-personal
and public, psychological and social-which shaped his character and
enabled him to secure widespread recognition as a major poet.
Discussions of significant works are integrated into the narrative
covering main events and key relationships, as well as illustrating
points made throughout about Pope's approach to his art. Among
other things this book shows how vulnerable Pope felt as a Papist
in a time of endemic Jacobite activity, and how his fear of
possible prosecution for sedition determined much of his conduct
and the way he shaped his career. Alexander Pope: The evolution of
a poet not only provides a fresh perspective on Pope, but also on
the very nature of literary creativity.
