An Essay on Man is a philosophical poem by Alexander Pope, published in 1733-34. It is an attempt to rationalize or rather vindicate the ways of God to man (Milton). It is concerned with the place of humankind in the universe; Pope explains that man should accept his position in the Great Chain of Being as part of God's plan. While it is a work of philosophy rendered in verse, it is most admired for its poetic qualities and quotable lines. This edition offers readers the complete text in English.
