Perhaps no other great poet in English Literature has been so
differently judged at different times as Alexander Pope. Accepted
almost on his first appearance as one of the leading poets of the
day, he rapidly became recognized as the foremost man of letters of
his age. He held this position throughout his life, and for over
half a century after his death his works were considered not only
as masterpieces, but as the finest models of poetry. With the
change of poetic temper that occurred at the beginning of the
nineteenth century Pope's fame was overshadowed. The romantic poets
and critics even raised the question whether Pope was a poet at
all. And as his poetical fame diminished, the harsh judgments of
his personal character increased. It is almost incredible with what
exulting bitterness critics and editors of Pope have tracked out
and exposed his petty intrigues, exaggerated his delinquencies,
misrepresented his actions, attempted in short to blast his
character as a man. Both as a man and as a poet Pope is sadly in
need of a defender to-day. And a defense is by no means impossible.
The depreciation of Pope's poetry springs, in the main, from an
attempt to measure it by other standards than those which he and
his age recognized. The attacks upon his character are due, in
large measure, to a misunderstanding of the spirit of the times in
which he lived and to a forgetfulness of the special circumstances
of his own life. Tried in a fair court by impartial judges Pope as
a poet would be awarded a place, if not among the noblest singers,
at least high among poets of the second order. And the flaws of
character which even his warmest apologist must admit would on the
one hand be explained, if not excused, by circumstances, and on the
other more than counterbalanced by the existence of noble qualities
to which his assailants seem to have been quite blind.
