The Restoration & The 18 th Century – 1660 to 1800 Dr. Moschetta English 12 Advanced

Why the Restoration? Relatively short time period Charles II returned from exile in France to assume the long-vacant English throne Charles brought French taste and culture Charles restored order to the civil wars in England during the Stuart dynasty that ruled after the execution of Charles I

Connection to Ancient Romans Many political and literary parallels between Restoration England and Ancient Rome Like Charles II, Emperor Augustus restored Rome to peace and order from the civil wars that followed Julius Caesar’s assassination Writing in England was a return to the classics: Neoclassicism

Reason & Enlightenment People were gradually changing their views of themselves and the world Asked WHY things happen and what they mean Focus on science & math; but went away from the previous connection with human affairs Scientists wanted to shorten the long, drawn out writing of Renaissance writers – led to English Prose

Changes in Religion Deism – the idea that a creator set the universe in motion and let it run on its own, like clockwork Came from more scientific and rational explanations of phenomena (comets, weather disasters, etc.) Most philosophers and scientists, however, remained religious Christianity in many forms

Religion & Politics After Henry VIII established the Church of England, many of the civil wars that followed led to changes in rulers Some Catholic, some Protestant Charles II restored Church of England Led to persecution of Puritans, Quakers Many of them left and traveled to the New World Also led to conflicts with other areas of Britain that were still Catholic – Scotland, Wales, Ireland

Restoration Writing Closer to “normal” English – even poetry! Satire – public ridicule Nonfiction – essays, letters Epic poetry (new form from Classical writing) Ode – poem to express public emotion Pastoral poetry – writing about simple country life First novels during this time

How does it connect to us? Even if you are not of English descent: Christianity came to America during this time More separation of government and religion – roots of Democracy Language – writing closer to how we speak today (formally, at least) Education – Public school system/higher education
