The Restoration During Charles II’s reign (1660–1685), the Church of England regained its power the life of the aristocratic courtier became the model for a sophisticated age of taste and luxury theaters reopened and censorship of the arts declined religious persecution of Catholics and Dissenters by Anglicans became widespread

Enlightened England The period from 1660 to 1800 in England is known as the Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, the Augustan Age, or the neoclassical period. This period brought many changes to society science religion literature

Society The rich lived lavishly. They attended newly reopened theaters wore expensive, heavily ornamented clothing used make-up and wore heavy wigs that extended high over their heads (both men and women) attended or hosted balls, masquerades, and dinners in London and in fashionable resort cities such as Bath

Society Conditions for the poor of England’s great cities deteriorated. The poor lived in filthy, overcrowded slums suffered from poor sanitation and disease were often sent to debtors’ prisons had access to cheap gin and had high rates of alcoholism Culver Pictures, Inc. Night (18th century) by William Hogarth

Science Advances in science led to a better understanding of nature and its laws. Sir Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. Robert Hooke contributed to the fields of astronomy, biology, chemistry, and physics. Robert Boyle laid the foundation for the study of chemistry. © Bettmann/CORBIS Sir Isaac Newton

Religion Catholics and Dissenters (members of non-Anglican Protestant churches) were persecuted. Many Dissenters immigrated to other countries in search of religious freedom. Deists, believers of a new and controversial religious doctrine, viewed the universe as a perfect mechanism that God had built and then left to run on its own.

Literature—Drama Drama was very popular during the Restoration and the eighteenth century. Female actors were allowed on stage. Comedies of manners reflected the life of the rich and leisured classes. Heroic dramas entertained audiences with melodramatic devices—exaggerated dialogue, emotional outbursts, and stereotypical characters.

Literature—Prose Scientists developed a more precise style of writing than their Elizabethan predecessors. They avoided ornate metaphors and allusions used shorter, more concise sentences Essayists and journalists developed a prose style pleasing to middle-class readers, rather than the aristocracy. They addressed political and social matters and sought reform established periodicals such as The Tatler and The Spectator

Literature—Poetry Neoclassical poetry appealed to the intellect and reason more than to emotions was often witty and filled with classical allusions had a public use—to celebrate, mourn, or ridicule followed strict rules of form, rhyme, and meter popular poetic forms: odes, elegies, and satires “True Ease in writing comes from Art, not Chance, As those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.” from An Essay on Criticism by Alexander Pope

Literature—Satire Eighteenth-century English writers excelled in satire—a kind of writing that ridicules human weakness, vice, or folly in order to bring about social reform. Alexander Pope gently satirized the immorality and bad taste of the leisured classes in works such as The Rape of the Lock. Jonathan Swift harshly satirized the hypocrisy and smugness of human behavior in works such as Gulliver’s Travels.

Literature—The Novel The novel form came into being in the eighteenth century and was immediately popular. Eighteenth-century novels described middle-class life and were often earthy and comical explored the emotional lives of characters in detail Epistolary novels, in which the story is told in a series of letters, were also popular.
