Summary "The Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland" by Cibber is a historical account probably written in the mid-18th century. This work serves as a comprehensive compendium of biographical sketches of significant poets from Great Britain and Ireland, including figures such as Sir John Denham, Thomas Killegrew, and Aphra Behn. The collection offers readers insights into their lives, works, and the socio-political context of their times, blending literary critique with history. At the start of this volume, Cibber introduces several poets, beginning with Sir John Denham, detailing his life from birth to death, his literary contributions, and his interactions with notable contemporaries. Denham's story highlights his academic beginnings, troubles with gambling, and emergence as a poet of renown with works like "Cooper's Hill." The narrative also covers the lives of other poets such as Killegrew and Behn, showcasing their works and characters while providing anecdotes that bring their personalities to life. This starting section sets the stage for an engaging exploration of the contributions and complexities of these literary figures within the broader canvas of English literature.
