Talk:Restoration Literature

"The English monarchy was restored in 1660 under Charles II. However, not everyone supported this restoration of the monarchy and some people opposed it. A split between royalists and republicans emerged": this statement conflates the English Civil War with the Restoration Period. Should definitely not happen at the end of the semester.

"Themes such as religion and faith (conflicts between Catholicism and Protestantism), criticism of the times, criticism and counter-criticism of royalists and republicans, politics, social life, humanity and its weaknesses, science and modernisation comprise Restoration Literature" truisms. Literature always deals with problems and anxieties of its times.
