English literature 1660-1900


Historical Background

The radical discontinuity between Renaissance and Restoration culture was primarily due to the irreversible changes that the revolutionary era of the 1640s and ’50s brought about. The most important of these changes was probably the development of a wholly new system of state government, which could be described in broad terms as the passage from “absolute monarchy” to “constitutional monarchy”. One can indeed argue that this development is in the background of the most significant historical events of the period.

A history of the English literature is presented here, with a scope on the years 1660 to 1900. The book is written in three main parts; beginning with the Restoration Period of the 17th century, followed by the first, and second halves of the 18th century. Thus, a sequential development of literary genres is presented, with explorations of the key figures and texts which drove these. The book also synthesises the historical, cultural and sociological background which gave rise to this literature, and allows the reader to effectively contextualise these.
