Short Description
"John Hughes (29 January 1677 – 17 February 1720) was an English poet, essayist and translator. Various of his works remained in print for a century after his death, but if he is remembered at all today it is for the use others made of his work. Texts of his were set by the foremost composers of the day and his translation of the Letters of Abelard and Heloise was a major source for Alexander Pope´s Eloisa to Abelard." - (en.wikipedia.org 25.05.2020)
