The Restoration & The 18th Century – 1660 to 1800

Dr. MoschettaEnglish 12 Advanced

Why the Restoration?

Relatively short time periodCharles II returned from exile in France to assume the long-vacant English throneCharles brought French taste and cultureCharles 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 worldAsked WHY things happen and what they meanFocus on science & math; but went away from the previous connection with human affairsScientists 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 ridiculeNonfiction – essays, lettersEpic poetry (new form from Classical writing)Ode – poem to express public emotionPastoral poetry – writing about simple country lifeFirst 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
