[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from English Poems Our first selection in this volume takes us into English life a little -over two hundred years ago. Queen Elizabeth has been dead a hundred and nine years, Shakespeare ninety-six. The Renaissance has spent its force, the civil wars between Cavalier and Puritan which had wrecked England during the central seventeenth century are over, and the last Stuart has worn an English crown. England since 1688 has been a constitutional monarchy. Queen Anne is now on the throne Addison and Steele are just about to establish The Tatler and The Spectator. Swift, an older man, greatest of our satirists, has already written The Tale of a Tub, and is about to throw himself energetically into politics but he will not publish Gulliver's Travels for fourteen years. The rising poet is a young man twenty-four years old, Alexander Pope every one is reading his Rape of the Lock, that clever society poem which is so amazingly well-written, and hits off in such an entertaining way a number of well-known people. From the time when this poem was written till the end of his life, Pope remained the true representative of the tastes and standards of his day. He was the poet of a time that had turned away, bored and sated, from romance, from passion, faith, and devotion to beauty, toward clear thinking, keen observation, and accurate and clever expression.
