内容説明
This biography has two primary aims: the first, to bring Pope the man clearly to view, the second, to show how it was that Pope succeeded so triumphantly as a poet in his own lifetime, becoming celebrated throughout the Western world. Central to this investigation is the relationship between the creative genius and society. One researcher of this topic is Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi, who has formulated a theory, the "Systems Perspective", which attempts to explain how a creative work comes to be recognized. Beginning with the question "where is creativity"? (as opposed to "what is creativity"?), he explains that recognition is all because without it the public does not know the work exists. Looking at Pope in the light of this and what other psychologists have to say about creativity should enable the reader to see him as one of a family, along with Darwin, Freud, Stravinsky, and TS Eliot.
