John Gay Portrait Print

John Gay NPG D2752

by George Bickham the Elder, after William Aikman

John Gay was a poet and dramatist, best remembered for his hugely successful dramatic satire The Beggar's Opera (1727). Along with his friend Alexander Pope (1688-1744), Gay was a member of the Scriblerus Club, a group of like-minded men who exposed and attacked ignorance and pretentiousness in literature. Johnson did not rate Gay's poetry highly but credited him with the invention of the ballad opera. >
