Which one person of all the possible candidates in the history of English-language prose, poetry, etc. had the, in your perception or at least in your best guess, largest, greatest, and biggest influence on the English we speak, write; hear, read today? For me it has to be the 17th century English poet Alexander Pope. Most famous for his brilliant rendering in English of Homer's The Iliad. You can search him on Google and find examples of his writing there.
