from the age of reason and public concerns... (6 avr. 1660 – 25 juill. 1745)

Description:

classical standards of balance, order, moderation and dignity prevailed in both prose and verse. The aim of literature was to edify and advise, to amuse, and to criticize all forms of hyppocrisy and excess. Emilating classical models was the greatest possible achievement. Writers often used wit, satire and irony to appeal to reason and the intellect.

Dryden, Pope, Swift, Addison, Steele, Dr Johnson
