The Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland 1753 V5 is a book written by Theophilus Cibber. It is a comprehensive collection of biographical sketches of the most prominent poets of Great Britain and Ireland during the 18th century. The book is divided into five volumes, each containing detailed accounts of the lives and works of poets from various regions and literary movements. The book covers poets from the Elizabethan era to the contemporary period, including William Shakespeare, John Milton, Alexander Pope, and many others. The author provides critical analysis of the poets’ works and their contributions to the literary world. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of English literature.This unhappy gentleman, who led a course of life imbittered with the most severe calamities, was not yet destitute of a friend to close his eyes. It has been remarked of Cowley, who likewise experienced many of the vicissitudes of fortune, that he was happy in the acquaintance of the bishop of Rochester, who performed the last offices which can be paid to a poet, in the elegant Memorial he made of his Life. Though Mr. Savage was as much inferior to Cowley in genius, as in the rectitude of his life, yet, in some respect, he bears a resemblance to that great man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
