To combine these words, we get the meaning of Neoclassicism as the rebirth and restoration of Classicism. Hence, Neoclassicism is the movement in the history of English literature, which laid immense emphasis on revival of the classical spirit during the period between 1680 and 1750 in the age of Pope and Dryden. It is a prototype of Classicism. Writers of this period immensely endeavored to follow the footpaths of the writers of the period of Augustus, emperor of Rome, which produced unparalleled writers as Horace, Virgil and Ovid. That is the reason; the age of Pope and Dryden is also called Augustan Age.  \nNeoclassical Poetry is a type of poetry, which follows the pattern of poetry authored by the poets of ancient time i.e., Greek and Rome. Pope and Dryden were the leading writers, who deviated from the traditional schools of poetry and sought guidance in the works of ancient Greek and Roman writers. They tried to follow the writers of the antiquity in letter and spirit in the Augustan Age.  \nAccording to Britannica Encyclopedia:  \n\"Classicism and Neoclassicism, in the arts, historical tradition or aesthetic attitudes based on the art of Greece and Rome in antiquity. In the context of the tradition, Classicism refers either to the art produced in antiquity or to later art inspired by that of antiquity; Neoclassicism always refers to theart produced later but inspired by antiquity. Thus the terms Classicism and Neoclassicism are often used interchangeably.\"  \nStages of Neoclassicism  \nThe Restoration Period:  \nIt is called the Restoration Period, as King Charles was restored in this era. The Restoration Period lasted from 1660-1700. Writers of this age, Dryden and Milton, endeavored to use sublime, grand and impressive style, scholarly allusions, and mythology and curb the intense use of imagination.  \nThe Augustan Age:  \nThe Augustan Age is also called the Age of Pope. Pope was the leading poet in this age. The Augustan Age lasted from 1700 to 1750.  \nThe Age of Johnson:  \nThe Age of Johnson lasted up to 1798, when the Romantic Movement was underway with the publication of Lyrical Ballads by Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge.  \nCharacteristics of Neoclassical Poetry  \nRationalism  \nRationalism is the most essential feature of neoclassical poetry. Neoclassical poets viewed reason asthe mainspring of learning, knowledge and inspiration for their poetry. Neoclassical poetry is areaction against the renaissance style of poetry. It is a unique outcome of intellect, not fancy and imagination  \nNotes by Zubair Saifi  \nOrator Institute of English  \nContact-8218093981  \nScholarly Allusions  \nThe neoclassical poets always loved to make use of scholarly allusions in their poetry. As they were all highly educated and well-versed in various fields of studies, they knew a lot about religious, biblical and classical literature. Allusions helped them to convey their message to their readers effectively and easily. That is why; their poetry is brimming with plentiful allusions to classical writers i.e., Virgil, Horace and Homer  \nDidacticism  \nNeoclassical poets rebelled against the romantic nature of poetry of the Renaissance Period. Romantic poets loved to compose poetry just for the sake of poetry like John Keats. They tried hard to sidestep morality and didacticism in their poetry. Their foremost purpose was to give vent to their feelings. On the other hand, the neoclassical poets laid stress significantly on the didactic purpose of poetry. They endeavored hard to fix the teething troubles of humanity through the magical power of poetry. The neoclassical poets were chiefly concerned with the didactic aspects of their poetry. That is the reason; most of the neoclassical poetry is replete with didacticism to a grea","cbCaii5s61k6Fnel","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii5s61k6Fnel","pdf",1157840,14,"English","# Neoclassicism in English Literature\n## Definition and Origins\n## Neoclassical Poetry\n## Stages of Neoclassicism\n## Characteristics of Neoclassical Poetry\n### Rationalism\n### Scholarly Allusions\n### Didacticism\n### Realism\n### Heroic Couplet\n## Romanticism (Introduced)","[{\"question\":\"What does Neoclassicism mean in the history of English literature?\",\"answer\":\"Neoclassicism is presented as the rebirth and restoration of Classicism, emphasizing revival of the classical spirit.
