The Neoclassical Period

The Age of Reason Also called “The Restoration” Emphasis shifts from the Romantic ideals (beauty, art, music, poetry, emotion, etc) to reason, logic, and science Belief is that humans are evil People wear facades (hypocrites)

50% of men can read and write People start fencing in their properties, causing the end of traditional village life Factories start popping up (start of Industrial Revolution) People become very poor as farming goes away Middle class rises in ranks

Role of Women This is the first period where women writers were able to publish under their own names and gain some acceptance at Not encouraged to be rebellious or independent; remain mens’ property. The first period where we see guidebooks for parents, children’s literature, and manuals on how to run households. Education for women remained as it had been since the later Middle Ages—girls learned enough reading and writing and math to run a household, were encouraged to read novels and periodicals, but the schools and universities remained for men only.

$$$ The Restoration is the time of the great privateer/pirate trade and the British navy. Economics were the justification for participating in slave trade. Britain is shifting from a kingdom to an empire as they expanded.

Comfort is #1 The British felt relatively invincible politically, which led to an assumption of their moral and intellectual supremacy. Middle class was obsessed with proving they had ‘good taste’. People whose parents were servants now had servants themselves. For the first time, it’s very important to have nice furniture, clothes, hairstyles, etc. People wanted the best of everything.

Its Good too Talk Good This is an age where verbal skill was extremely important. Everyone with money was supposed to be verbally talented. This is the time of grammar books, histories of the language, and above all dictionaries—so you wouldn’t use words improperly.

Decorum Decorum-rules on how to act properly (manners) Great value was placed on manners and virtues like self-control. Literature is meant to show its readers how to think, talk, behave, and interact in the world. Writers took this very seriously.

Religion and Science Science was used to try to understand the creation of the world. Accurate clocks, the refined microscope and the telescope were used to explain the marvels of the universe. Was used to explain how God worked—one common image was of God as a kind of Divine Clockmaker, setting all things in order to run perfectly. At the same time the façade of piety (religious purity) grew thicker. Going to church became as much a social event as a religious one. Architects were hired to rebuild churches to make them more fashionable.

How Stuff Works This was an age when people were obsessed with how the world worked. Study of anatomy and of dissection began; autopsies were public spectacles, and medical schools and hospitals built operating theaters, a term that is still used, because they assumed there would be an audience to watch the experts work. Mathematics was used to explain many of the workings of the world. In this age, one of the most celebrated occupations was to be a virtuoso—not a scholar but a regular person who studied how the world worked, kept interesting items on display in his house.

Literature All these changes meant profound changes for literature. The emphasis on self-reflection meant that genres like diaries, letters, and essays were popular. genres like the newspaper and periodical, the novel, the popular ballad, and the theatre would also find widespread public audiences. Journalism becomes a power for the first time. The invention of copyright and the beginning of the age of the footnote.

Literacy The proliferation of the printing press, the cheapness of paper, and the rise of literacy and economic status meant that many more people could participate in reading. It is the first great age of literary criticism
