Kimberlee Vander Most--1B
Taken from The Norton Anthology, Volume C
*Excluded on the basis of his religion, Roman Catholicism, from attending a university, voting, holding public office, or receiving patronage.
*His translation of Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey gave him the means to live comfortably.
*Politically, his group of friends/fellow writers changed from Whigs to Tories.
--Tories was more his true political allegance; when he associated with Congreve, Walsh, and Addison and Steele it was more excitement at long due recognition.
*We covered his "Essay on Man" and "Essay on Criticism"
*His verse is notable for its rhythmic variety: the heroic couplet (rhyming iambic pentameter)
*Considered a satirist (a satirist uses humor or irony to critique human failings)
