RESTORATION PERIOD (jan 1, 1700 – dec 25, 1800)
Description:
The three (3) leading Spanish writers of the 17th century was Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and Calderon. Cervantes’ Don Quixote is a satire on the old romances of chivalry and marks disappearance of the knightly and religious spirit of the past.
French literature of the 17th century is marked by good papers of the French court and culture.
During the restoration, the English Puritan and non-conformist writers turned their thoughts to the other world. Milton wrote Paradise Lost and Bunyan Pilgrim’s Progress.
The spirit of the 18th century, called the Age of Reasons, was greatly influenced by the good taste of French literature, the empirical and practical philosophy of Locke, and the mathematically simplified science of Newton.
