提要:马修·普赖尔是约翰·德莱顿去世(John Dryden)到亚历山大·蒲柏诗歌成熟(Alexander Pope)期间英国最重要的诗人。1718年出版的《Poems on Several Occasions》在经济上取得了巨大成功。对整个十八世纪的英国和德国诗歌产生了重大影响,他对几种不同的形式产生了影响:严肃或半嘲讽的长篇哲学诗、霍拉蒂斯的模仿、心理现实的故事,以及优美、格律的歌曲和歌词。尽管在整个十九世纪,他的影响力在英国、德国和美国仍然显而易见,但人们几乎只在社会诗这一流派中感受到这种影响,尤其是在英语国家。在他所在的英国世纪,他因两项成就而特别重要:他帮助保持了作为一种较小的潮流,在精美的奥古斯都对联的主流中的活力,以及抒情和轻快的语调以及八音节和韵律形式的复辟诗的天赋。
Matthew Prior (21 July 1664 – 18 September 1721) was an English poet and diplomat. He is also known as a contributor to The Examiner.
Matthew Prior was one of the most important English poets of the century, and a diplomat as well. To raise money after his release from house arrest during the shift of power in England, Tonson and Alexander Pope especially aided Prior in setting to type a subscriber's edition of his poems. The project was a great success with nearly 1500 names included among the original subscribers to the work.
