-What is Enlightenment? Origins, influence, important figures; Augustan Literature
The seventeenth century was a period of tumultuous change, witnessing as it did a revolution, a civil war, major parliamentary reform and the emergence of a powerful new middle class. The extravagance of the Renaissance was replaced by Puritan pragmatism and although the Commonwealth failed, Puritan morality became an integral part of the English character. The scientific revolution and rationalist philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, Rene Descartes and John Locke spread the idea that reason rather than religion was the key to the understanding of man and the world that surrounds him.
