Description

The developments that took place in England between the Restoration and Romantic periods had a significant influence on both the form and content of writing today. The novel's creation sparked the creation of new types and coincided with a rise in education across the country. This book examines the English essayists who contributed to the social, political, and religious climate of the time and immerses students in the background of the stories that continue to enthral audiences to this day. This is a notable and insightful analysis of eighteenth-century academic life that conveys a true sense of the multifaceted nature of the period and the intellectual and social environment that fostered the growth of innovative literature. It considers some of the period's most important issues, competing with terms like "Augustan Age," "Time of Enlightenment," and "Time of Reason," which commentators and historians have associated with the eighteenth century. The Tradition Classics arrangement includes this book.
