The Restoration & The 18th
Century – 1660 to 1800
Dr. Moschetta
English 12 Advanced
Why the Restoration?
Relatively short time period
Charles II returned from exile in France to
assume the long-vacant English throne
Charles brought French taste and culture
Charles 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 world
Asked WHY things happen and what they
mean
Focus on science & math; but went away
from the previous connection with human
affairs
Scientists 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 ridicule
Nonfiction – essays, letters
Epic poetry (new form from Classical writing)
Ode – poem to express public emotion
Pastoral poetry – writing about simple
country life
First 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
