3 unusual facts about Barnaby Bernard Lintot


Barnaby Bernard Lintot

John Gay and Nicholas Rowe, in particular, became clients of Lintott's, and Lintott published Pope's Works of 1717, Gay's Poems on Several Occasions in 1720, and Rowe's Works in 1728.

Lintott had paid Pope £2,201 for his translation of Homer's Iliad.

Thus, when Pope came to publish his translation of Odyssey, Lintot was in no mood to offer the same terms.
