An outline of English Literature Chapter 6

The main characteristics of Restoration Age ( )  Triumph of reason and tolerance over religious and political passions.  Known for its use of philosophy, reason, wit, skepticism, and refinement.  More emphasis on science and natural facts.  Witnessed the earliest beginning of literary criticism.  Appraising the regaining of monarchy and kingdom.  The appearance of the comedy of humors and the comedy of manners.  It was the age of real and significant poetry. Poems affected political events and reflected the times. Lyric, historical, and epic poems were developed.

The main characteristics of Restoration Age ( )  The tragic drama was made up mainly of heroic plays. Where men were brave and women were beautiful. There was a lot of shouting and a good deal of nonsense. The plays were written in heroic couplets, a form of metre perfected by John Dryden (p ). Some of them were good and some were bad. He wrote his best heroic play “ The Conquest of Granada ” with loud language and some good lyrics. His well- known play “ All for Love (or The World Well Last) is in blank verse, written to please himself. It is based on Shakespeare ’ s “ Antony and Cleopatra. ” Dryden also wrote a comedy titled “ The Rehearsal ” where he satirizes the men who saw the stupidity of the extraordinary situations in the heroic plays, and its plot is intentionally foolish.  A new kind of comedy appeared known as the Comedy of Manners, which is hard and bright, witty and heartless. It ’ s introduced by Sir Thomas Etherege, where in his play “ The Man of Mode ” he gives a picture of the immoral manners of the society.  Read about John Bunyan, Oliver Goldsmith, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan for their great contributions to the English Restoration Drama (p. 66 – 67).

The main characteristics of Restoration Age ( )  Read the definition of the heroic couplet: lines of iambic pentameter that rhyme in pairs (aa, bb, cc). Also it is a traditional form for English poetry, commonly used for epic and narrative poetry; it refers to poems constructed from a sequence of rhyming pairs of iambic pentameter lines. The rhyme is always masculine. A frequently-cited example illustrating the use of heroic couplets in this passage from cooper’s hill by John Denham, part of his description of the Thames: O could I flow like thee, and make thy stream My great example, as it is my theme ! Though deep, yet clear, though gentle, yet not dull, Strong without rage, without o’erflowing full.  In closed couplets, each pair of lines is self-contained, even if they are part of a larger grammatical structure, as in the rollowing lines from pope’s “An Essay on Criticism” (1711): In wit, as nature, what affects our hearts Is not th’ exactness of peculiar parts; ‘tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call, But the joing force and full resut of all.
