蒲柏的诗歌创作代表了18世纪英国“理性”时代的价值取向和道德原则。他在创作中遵循新古典主义的思想原则,这与当时提倡理性的社会审美趣味是一致的。蒲柏注重文学的道德功能与教诲作用,强调诗歌的趣味性与道德教诲相结合。在这一点上,他与罗马诗人贺拉斯提倡的“寓教于乐”的 Pope’s poetic creation represents the value orientation and moral principles of the 18th century British “rational” era. He follows the neoclassical ideological principles in his creation, which is consistent with the social aesthetic interest of promoting rationality at the time. Pope pays attention to the moral function and teaching role of literature, emphasizing the combination of the poetic interest and moral education. At this point, he and the Roman poet Horace advocate “edutainment.”
