Author : John Gay

John Gay was an influential English poet and playwright known for his significant contributions to early 18th-century literature, particularly through his work in the genre of ballad opera. Born in 1685, Gay initially struggled to find his footing in the literary world, but eventually gained recognition for his sharp wit and satirical style. His most famous work, "The Beggar's Opera," first performed in 1728, cleverly critiques the societal norms and political corruption of his time, highlighting the interplay between high society and the criminal underworld. Alongside his literary accomplishments, Gay was also associated with notable figures of the period, including Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift, and his legacy continues to impact the realms of theatre and poetry.
