Neo-classicism in English Literature Representative writers: Alexander Pope,
Joseph Addison, Richard Steele and Samuel Johnson. The classicists found their artistic models in the classical literature of the ancient Greek and Roman writers, and tried to control literary creation by some fixed laws and rules. They stress on the classical ideals of order, logic, restrained emotion, accuracy, good taste and decorum.
Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
Pope was the representative writer of the neo-classical school. He was a master in satire and heroic couplet.
An Essay on Criticism The Rape of the Lock Essay on Man
“Hills peep over hills, and Alps on Alps arise!” 山外有山,天外有天。
The Heroic Couplet Couplet is two consecutive lines of poetry
that rhyme. Eg: In Macbeth Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell. Heroic couplet means iambic pentameter rhymed in two line. (10 syllables and 5 stresses in each line.) But when to mischief mortals behind their will; How soon they find fit instruments of ill! (Pope: The Rape of the Lock)
English Realistic Novels The novelists of this period told the reader in
their novels, not about knight or kings but about the ordinary people; about their thoughts; feeling and struggles. Daniel Defoe ---- Robinson Crusoe Jonathan Swift ---Gullive
r’s Travels Henry Fielding --- Tom Jones T.G. Smollet: satirical novels Samuel Richardson --- Pamela, epistolary novel
--- P. 168
Gothic Novel The term “Gothic” derived from the frequent
setting of the tales in the ruined, mosscovered castles of the Middle Ages. Gothic novel exploits the possibilities of mystery and terror in gloomy, craggy landscapes, decaying mansions with dark dungeons, secret passages; instruments of torture, ghostly visitations, ghostly music or voices.
---P. 170
Sentimentalism By the middle of the 18th C.,
sentimentalism came into being as the result of a bitter discontent among the enlightened people with social reality. It was a reaction against the cold, hard commercialism and rationalism. Laurence Sterne Thomas Gray Oliver Goldsmith
---P. 169-170
Pre-romanticismIt originated among the conservative groups of men of letters as a reaction against Enlightenment and found its most manifest expression in the “Gothic Novel”. William Blake
The Tiger

A Red, Red Rose
Life experience A jack-of –all-trades, as well as a writer.
