At the start of this collection, the biography highlights Pope's early life, detailing his childhood as a sickly and deformed boy which shaped his character and poetic voice. It describes his precocious literary talent, from his first forays into verse at a young age to the influences of notable figures like Dryden and Addison. The narrative captures the formative experiences that cultivated his love for poetry, alongside the societal challenges he faced as a Catholic in a predominantly Protestant England. Overall, the opening serves as a foundation, illustrating how Pope's personal journey influenced his writing, while enticing readers to delve deeper into his poetic artistry.
