The artistic style known as “Neoclassicism” (also called “classicism”)was the

predominant movement in European art and architecture during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It reflected a desire to rekindle the spirit and forms of classical art from ancient Greece and Rome, whose principles of order and reason were entirely in keeping with the European Age of Enlightenment.

10. English Civil War

it was a series of civil wars and political machinations between politicians during

1642-1651 against the Long Parliament

during 1660 to the 17th century, Charles II returned to the throne and the literature was opressed due to many authors that wrote about the situation, but on the other hand literature was influenced by humanistic, heroic and renaissance aspects

it was an age increasingly dominated by empiricism while in the writings of political economy also the development was affected by capitalism and the trade movement

this period is also sometimes described as the Age of Johson. Samuel Johson was an English author who made lasting contributions to the English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johson has been described as arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history

during the 18th and early 19th centuries, the movement concerned itself with the ogic of the entire classical volumes, unlike classical revivalism, which tended to reuse classical parts. Neoclassical architecture is characterized by its grand scale, simplicity of geometric forms, Greek speciall Doric or Roman details, dramatic use of colums, and preference for blank walls

there are two biggest rules, which the others sort of fall under, they were called Decorum and Verisimilitude. Decorum was the idea that the characters had to fit in their own role. They had to behave in a way that was appropiate for their age, rank,gender and so on. Versamilitude was the idea taht everything that happened in the show needed to be realistic

satire during this period aimed to point out the shortcomings of society through ridiculing the accepted standards of thought, exposing Britain`s flaws and sharing the time`s hipoocrisy

the Restoration writers developed satire as a genre and style of writing. These authors loved picking on people (literary rivals, religious figures, even entire social classes.) and showing just how ridiculous they all were
