English literature 1660-1900


Augustan Poetry: Alexander Pope (1688-1744)

If a single poet’s work can epitomize the achievement of a whole age, then Alexander Pope’s poetry is no doubt the epitome of English neo-classicism. It is witty, learned, urbane and refined, and it exhibits its author’s unsurpassed mastery and control of the rules.

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.
