Summary "The Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland" by Mr. Cibber is a biographical anthology written during the mid-18th century that explores the lives and works of various poets from Great Britain and Ireland. The book appears to offer a detailed account of the poets' contributions to literature, delving into their personal histories, societal contexts, and specific works, ultimately aiming to trace the development and significance of poetry during this time. At the start of the volume, the reader is introduced to the lives of several poets, beginning with Peter Motteux, a French gentleman who thrived in England as a translator and playwright. His contributions and tragic demise are recounted, setting the tone for a broader exploration of other poets, including Mrs. Manley, whose complex life story reflects the societal challenges faced by female writers in her time. The opening sections highlight the intersections between personal life, artistic expression, and the cultural milieu of the poets, illustrating how their experiences shaped their works and legacies. Each entry serves to both celebrate and critically assess their contributions to the literary landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
