The Restoration And The 18th Century
The document summarizes aspects of literature and history during the Restoration period and 18th century in England. It describes the weakening of the monarchy, beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, and advances in science during the Enlightenment. Major literary figures of the time like Dryden, Pope, Swift, and Defoe are discussed, along with genres like satire, odes, and heroic couplets that were popular. Neoclassicism was a dominant style that emulated classical models through order, balance, and rational thought.
The restoration period
The Restoration Period in England from 1660-1689 saw the restoration of the monarchy under King Charles II. During this time, literacy rates rose to 50% of men, factories began to spring up marking the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and coffee houses became popular places for educated men to socialize and discuss politics and literature. Styles of the period included baldrics, cannon knee ribbons, and periwigs. Neoclassical literature featuring satire also emerged, as did Rococo and Neoclassical styles in art which drew inspiration from ancient Greece and Rome.
The Restoration age
After the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, English literature moved away from Puritan ideals towards more worldly concerns. The Age of Dryden was dominated by John Dryden, who perfected the heroic couplet in poetry, drama, and prose. Restoration drama featured comedies of manners that satirized the aristocracy, while tragedy focused on heroic themes. Prose evolved to be more precise and suited to scientific, historical and philosophical topics. John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress was a masterpiece of simple allegorical English prose.

The Restoration period in England from 1660-1700 saw the restoration of the monarchy and influence from French styles of writing. John Dryden emerged as the dominant writer of the period.

Prose also developed into a clearer modern style during this time of rational inquiry led by writers like Dryden and Bunyan.
Neoclassical and Restoration England
The Neoclassical period in England spanned the 17th and 18th centuries, beginning with the Restoration of the monarchy under Charles II in 1660 after the English Civil War and Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. This period saw a return to classical ideals of form and reason in the arts and literature, as well as the rise of the middle class and increased literacy and education. Major literary movements included the Metaphysical Poets in the 17th century known for intricate imagery and philosophy, and Augustan writers in the early 18th century like Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift who used satire and reason.

Bioethics
This document discusses the relationship between individualism and scientific progress. It analyzes how scientific innovations can be used for both good and evil ends, as seen in "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" where technology allows a man to divide into two personas. The document also examines how new technologies increasingly invade privacy without consent. John Stuart Mill argued that scientific progress should not become dogmatic or used to undermine individual liberty, which he saw as fundamental to society. However, the document expresses pessimism that mankind's hunger for power cannot be suppressed and neutral science will always be exploited for personal gain and control.
