Neoclassical Period (jan 1, 1600 – nov 19, 1607)
Description:
The Neoclassical period is also subdivided into ages, includingThe Restoration (1660–1700)
The Augustan Age (1700–1745)
The Age of Sensibility (1745–1785).
The Restoration period sees some response to the puritanical age, especially in the theater. Restoration comedies (comedies of manner) developed during this time under the talent of playwrights like William Congreve and John Dryden. Satire, too, became quite popular, as evidenced by the success of Samuel Butler. Other notable writers of the age include Aphra Behn, John Bunyan, and John Locke.
