In 1492 after the death of Pope Innocent VIII, Borja received the majority of votes and became Pope Alexander VI. He was controversial and began his reign by a strict administration of justice but soon his degree of nepotism built him enemies as well as allies, and he learned how to play the political game. Pope Alexander VI had four children by his mistress and he married them off well. In 1503 the Pope developed a fever and was too old to recover. His intestines began to bleed and after he accepted his last rites and made confession, he died on August 18th 1503 at the age of 72.

    Pope, Alexander
    From Enlightenment Revolution
    Jump to: navigation search Pope, Alexander (1688-1744): English, Poet. Alexander Pope was England’s most important poet of the eighteenth century before the Romantics. Born to middle-class Roman Catholic parents, Pope was part of a disenfranchised religious minority that was looked upon with suspicion. Pope also suffered from tuberculosis of the spine, which stunted his growth, deformed his back, and forced him to endure pain and ridicule. Despite these handicaps, Pope forged a highly successful career as a poet, producing a large body of significant writing, which included works of satire, aesthetics, and moral and philosophical reflection. Pope was largely self-taught. As a Catholic, he was barred from universities and most schools, though he did attend some Catholic schools that were tolerated. At age twelve he began to study on his own and to take private language lessons. In 1705 he met Sir William Trumbull (former secretary of state) who encouraged his early literary efforts and introduced him to other writers and political figures, notably WilliamWycherley, William Walsh, and Lord Somers. In 1709, Pope announced himself as a poet by publishing

      An Essay on Criticism
      Alexander Pope
      'Tis hard to say, if greater Want of Skill
      Appear in Writing or in Judging ill,
      But, of the two, less dang'rous is th' Offence,
      To tire our Patience, than mis-lead our Sense:
      Some few in that, but Numbers err in this,
      Ten Censure wrong for one who Writes amiss;
      A Fool might once himself alone expose,
      Now One in Verse makes many more in Prose. 'Tis with our Judgments as our Watches, none
      Go just alike, yet each believes his own.
      In Poets as true Genius is but rare, True Taste as seldom is the Critick's Share; Both must alike from Heav'n derive their Light, These born to Judge, as well as those to Write. Let such teach others who themselves excell, And censure freely who have written well. Authors are partial to their Wit, 'tis true, But are not Criticks to their Judgment too? Yet if we look more closely, we shall find Most have the Seeds of Judgment in their Mind; Nature affords at least a glimm'ring Light; The Lines, tho' touch'd but faintly, are drawn right.

      Slight is the Subject, but not so the Praise,
      If She inspire, and He approve my Lays.

      A well-bred Lord t'assault a gentle Belle?
      Oh say what stranger Cause, yet unexplor'd, Cou'd make a gentle Belle reject a Lord And dwells such Rage in softest Bosoms then? And lodge such daring Souls in Little Men? Sol thro' white Curtains shot a tim'rous Ray, And op'd those Eyes that must eclipse the Day; Now Lapdogs give themselves the rowzing Shake, And sleepless Lovers, just at Twelve, awake: Thrice rung the Bell, the Slipper knock'd the Ground, And the press'd Watch return'd a silver Sound. Belinda still her downy Pillow prest, Her Guardian Sylph prolong'd the balmy Rest. 'Twas he had summon'd to her silent Bed The Morning-Dream that hover'd o'er her Head.

    Rodrigo Borgia , born at Xativa, near Valencia , in Spain , 1 January, 1431; died in Rome , 18 August, 1503. His parents were Jofre Isabella Borja, sister of Cardinal Alfonso Borja, later Pope Callixtus III The young Rodrigo had not yet definitely chosen his profession when the elevation of his uncle to the papacy (1455) opened up new prospects to his ambition . He was adopted into the immediate family of Callixtus and was known henceforward to the Italians as Rodrigo Borgia . Like so many other princely cadets, he was obtruded upon the Church , the question of a clerical vocation being left completely out of consideration. After conferring several rich benefices on him, his uncle sent him for a short year to study law at the University of Bologna . In 1456, at the age of twenty-five, he was made Cardinal Deacon of St. Nicolo in Carcere , and held that title until 1471, when he became Cardinal-Bishop of Albano ; in 1476 he was made Cardinal-Bishop of Porto and Dean of the Sacred College (Eubel

    18. The Gender Fallacy
    Essay at Rutgers University by William Dowling which uses Pope s Eloisa to Abelard to study the issue of gender identification by authors, specifically that involved in late 20th century feminist criticism.
    http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~wcd/gender.htm
    The Gender Fallacy
    William C. Dowling
    The genetic fallacy as I want to consider it is usefully exemplified in an analysis of Eloisa to Abelard undertaken a few years ago by Ellen Pollak in a feminist study of the poetry of Pope and Swift. Eloisa to Abelard poses a genuine problem for feminist criticism precisely because Eloisa has to so many generations of readers seemed so real "as a woman." Crying out from the lonely walls of the convent to which she has been exiled by their tragic love affair, speaking to an absent and imagined Abelard with all the passion that she must have felt when she was younger and they were together, Eloisa has always been a poetic voice behind whom it has seemed difficult or, what is perhaps the same thing, irrelevant to hear the voice of an "actual" Alexander Pope. There are several logical problems here. The first is that it is hard to see how, insofar as it begins from a notion of male writers as in some necessary sense misogynist, a properly feminist interpretation of Eloisa to Abelard could come to any other conclusion. Pollak herself explicitly raises this issue as part of the question whether Pope or Swift might not, in this or that isolated instance, have registered a genuine empathy with female experience. But it is not a suggestion she wishes to entertain. Even "to argue whether or not the texts of the two poets are misogynist is," she points out, "already to entertain the possibility that they (or some of them) may not be." And, "since these texts are the products of a phallocentric culture and of its authorizing sign-systems and codes" (183), it is something like an a priori certainty that they will mirror their misogynist origins.

This brought the latter into conflict with Alexander, who determined to revenge himself by making an alliance with the king's enemies, especially the Sforza family, lords of Milan. In this he was opposed by Cardinal della Rovere, whose candidature for the papacy had been backed by Ferdinand. Della Rovere, feeling that Rome was a dangerous place for him, fortified himself in his bishopric of Ostia at the Tiber's mouth, while Ferdinand allied himself with Florence, Milan, Venice, and the pope formed a league against Naples (April 25, 1493) and prepared for war. Ferdinand appealed to Spain for help; but Spain was anxious to be on good terms with the pope to obtain a title over the newly discovered continent of America and could not afford to quarrel with him. Alexander meditated great marriages for his children. Lucrezia had been married to the Spaniard Don Gasparo de Procida, but on her father's elevation to the papacy the union was annulled, and in 1493 she was married to Giovanni Sforza, lord of Pesaro, the ceremony being celebrated at the Vatican with unparalleled magnificence. But in spite of the splendors of the court, the condition of Rome became every day more deplorable. The city swarmed with Spanish adventurers, assassins, prostitutes and informers; murder and robbery were committed with impunity, heretics and Jews were admitted to the city on payment of bribes, and the pope himself shamelessly cast aside all show of decorum, living a purely secular and immoral life, and indulging in the chase, dancing, stage plays and indecent orgies. One of his boon companions was Jem, the brother of the sultan Bayezid, detained as a hostage.
