"The Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland" by Theophilus Cibber is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. This work, which forms part of a multi-volume collection, delves deeply into the lives and contributions of various poets from Great Britain and Ireland, documenting their careers, styles, and notable works. The opening of this volume begins with a note about its publication and the intention to compile the lives of various poets, showcasing the contributions of lesser-known figures, such as Anthony Brewer and Thomas May. Each poet is introduced with summaries of their works, influence, and context within their time, often highlighting their interactions with contemporaneous literary and political figures. For instance, the narrative recounts how Brewer's talent stemmed from the era of Charles I, detailing his various plays and the impact of his work, as well as including interesting anecdotes that connect these poets to historical events, like Oliver Cromwell’s performance in one of Brewer’s plays. Overall, the text reveals both the personal and artistic dimensions of each poet, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of their literary legacies.
