Understanding Neoclassicism (1660-1790) by meow is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Neoclassicism was a cultural movement in England from 1660 to 1790 that drew inspiration from classical antiquity, emphasizing reason, decorum, and social context in literature and the arts. The period is divided into three stages: the Restoration Age, the Augustan Age, and the Age of Johnson, each marked by distinct literary trends and notable writers. This era laid the groundwork for the subsequent Romantic movement while adhering to classical ideals of order and structure.
