Recitation of YOU KNOW WHERE YOU DID DESPISE by Alexander Pope (London, England, 1688-1744)
A little about the author:
Alexander Pope (21 May 1688, London – 30 May 1744, Twickenham, now part of London) was one of the greatest British poets of the 18th century.[1] Famous for his translation of Homer. He is the second most written quoter in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, after Shakespeare.[2]
His youth was dotted with setbacks, a consequence of being the son of a Catholic merchant. He was banned from attending schools and universities, but despite this, he educated himself with care. His illnesses and physical deformity made him a complicated character. Pope's main contribution was in the essays and verses, in which he expounds his aesthetic and philosophical ideas. They are philosophical or didactic poems, such as Essay on Criticism, a work of neoclassical doctrine, written at the age of 23, in which he defends his views on true poetry, and Essay on Man (Essay on Man) ( 1733–34), in which he discusses whether or not it is possible to reconcile the evils of this world with a belief in a just and merciful creator. He also composed a satire, Dunciad, in which the poet declares the throne of turpitude, annoyance and stupidity vacant and proposes the names of his enemies to occupy them. It was as a satirist and moralist that he characterized himself in the second part of his life, when he wrote The Rape of the Lock (The Rape of the Lock) in which he ridicules the extreme delicacy of the court of England.
For many, Alexander Pope was the most brilliant satirist of the Augustan era. Within satirical literature he was the natural successor of John Dryden and also the first English poet to achieve international fame.

Um pouco sobre o autor:
Alexander Pope (21 de maio de 1688, Londres – 30 de maio de 1744, Twickenham, hoje parte de Londres) foi um dos maiores poetas britânicos do século XVIII.[1] Famoso por sua tradução de Homero. É o segundo mais citador escrito na obra The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, depois de Shakespeare.[2]
Sua mocidade foi pontilhada de contratempos, consequência de ser filho de um comerciante católico. Foi proibido de frequentar escolas e universidades, mas, apesar disso, educou-se com esmero. Suas doenças e a deformidade fÃsica fizeram dele um caráter complicado. A principal contribuição de Pope foi nos ensaios e versos, nos quais expõe suas idéias estéticas e filosóficas. São poemas filosóficos ou didáticos, como Essay on Criticism (Ensaio sobre a crÃtica), obra de doutrina neoclássica, escrita aos 23 anos, na qual defende seus pontos de vista sobre a verdadeira poesia, e Essay on Man (Ensaio sobre o Homem) (1733–34), na qual discute se é ou não possÃvel reconciliar os males deste mundo com a crença no criador justo e misericordioso. Compôs também uma sátira, Dunciad, em que o poeta declara vago o trono da torpeza, do aborrecimento e da estupidez e propõe o nome de seus inimigos para ocupá-los. Foi como satÃrico e moralista que se caracterizou na segunda parte de sua vida, quando escreveu The Rape of the Lock (O rapto da Madeixa) em que ridiculariza a extrema delicadeza da corte da Inglaterra.
Para muitos, Alexander Pope foi o satirista mais brilhante da era Augustana. Dentro da literatura satirista foi o sucessor natural de John Dryden e também o primeiro poeta inglês a ter fama internacional.
