《》 | Part Ⅴ n The Period of Revolution and Restoration |
背面 | The Revolution Period was of confusion in literature . English literature of the period witnessed a decline and de- generation . We can see that it is different from the literature of Elizabethan Period in three aspects . 1) Elizabethan literature had a marked unity and the feeling of patriotism and devotion to the Queen, but in the Rev- olution Period, all this was changed, the king became the open enemies of the people, and the country was di- vided by the struggle for political and religious liberty . So literature was as divided in spirit as were the strug- gling parties . 2 ) Elizabethan literature was generally inspiring . It throbbed with youth and hope and vitality . Literature in the Puritan Age expressed age and sadness . Even its brightest hours were followed by gloom and pessimism . 3) Elizabethan literature was intensely romantic . The ro- mance sprang from the heart of youth . People believed all things, even the impossible . But in literature of the Puritan period, we can not find romantic ardor . |
