The Age of Satire and Reason [Shakespeare ( ) -- John Donne ( )]  The Neo-Classicism (1660 – end of the 18 th century) Restoration Drama -- Poetry (1704 ~ ) – Novel of Sensibility  Jonathan Swift Gulliver’s Travels  Alexander Pope "Essay on Criticism" (1711) as critical statements of Neoclassical principles (source)source  values order, logic, restraint, accuracy, "correctness," "restraint," decorum  Lyrical Ballads (1798) – Romanticism (French Revolution ) Heroic couplet

Alexander Pope Deformed, a Catholic in an age dominated by Protestant The one that defines the Augustan Poetry

“Sound and Sense” Find the sounds that match the sense!!! “Wisdom” from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!

“Sound and Sense” The excerpt from Pope's poem points out and then gives examples of common errors in writing. What are some of the problems that Pope addresses? This excerpt is a good example of the importance of sounds in poetry. In line 365 Pope says "The sound must seem an echo to the sense.” What does that mean? Can you find examples and counter-examples in this excerpt?  e.g. Lines the Greek hero and heroines of the Trojan War. As you read these lines outloud, do you notice that they are difficult to say and they feel "heavy"? Or any lines swift and light? Can you identify the rhythm?

Heroic Couplet lines in iambic pentameter rhymed in pairs What does the poem have to say about alliteration, assonance, rhyme or heroic couplet?heroic couplet

Problems -- Poems which are too mechanical, too much concerned with its sound effects (meter and rhyme)  Open vowels – tiring (345)  Expletives – weak aid (346)  predictable rhymes (350-53)  Alexandrines as long slow lines (357)
