Pope, Alexander (1688-1744), inglês:Ensaio sobre a Crítica (1711);
A Floresta de Windsor (1713);
Ensaio sobre o Homem (1733-1734).
Pope was born 21 May, 1688, in London. His father was a cloth merchant living in the City (a part of London); both his parents were Catholic. It was a period of intense anti-Catholic sentiment in England, and at some point (ca. 1700) in Alexander's childhood, the Pope family was forced to relocate to be in compliance with a statute forbidding Catholics from living within ten miles of London or Westminster. They moved to Binfield (Berkshire).
