Novel writing made a big advance in the 18th century. The main characters in the novels were no longer common people, but the kings and nobles. In the poems of Edward Young and Thomas Gray, sentimentalism found its fine expression. Tobias Smollett gives a true picture of the evils in the British navy in the novel of Roderick Random, in which Random, like Smollett, is a Scot and a doctor. Classicism turned to the countryside for its material, so is in striking contrast to sentimentalism, which had confined itself to the clubs and drawing-rooms, and to the social and political life of London. In The School for Scandal, Sheridan contrasts two brothers, Joseph Surface and Charles Surface. Racial discrimination is expressed in Blake’s “The Little Black”. Pre-romanticism is ushered by Burns and Blake and represented by Percy, Macpherson and Chatterton. More the man is even more interesting than More the writer.

To reproduce the real life, Shakespeare often combines the majestic with the funny, the poetic with the prosaic and tragic with the comic. The major parliamentary clashes of the early 17th century were over land ownership. With the establishment of the bourgeois dictatorship, Charles II became the Protector of the English Commonwealth. In 1644, James I was sentenced to death and Cromwell became the leader of the country. The Revolution Period produced one of the most important poets in English literature, William Shakespeare. The main literary form in literature of Revolution Period is drama. John Milton towers over his age as Byron towers over the Elizabethan Age, and as Chaucer towers over the medieval period. Izaak Wilton’s The Compleat Angler becomes a “Piscatorial classic”. The old English aristocracy having been exterminated (wiped out) in the course of the War of the Roses, a new nobility, totally dependent on King’s power, comes to the fore. The progress of bourgeois economy made England a powerful state and enabled
