I hope you have enjoyed your study of Hamlet. I consider it one of Shakespeare's greatest works. This Thursday we will have a test on the play and Monday we will review for it. After the test review, we will move on to the Neoclassical period, also know as the Age of Enlightenment or the Restoration period, since this was the time when the monarchy was restored. This new period is characterized by an interest in logic. Some of the key authors from this time:
- Alexander Pope
- Daniel Defoe
- Jonathan Swift,
- Samuel Johnson
- John Bunyan
- John Milton
We will certainly read excerpts from Milton's Paradise Lost and the pamphlet "A Modest Proposal" by Swift.
Looking forward to seeing you and learning lots!
Mrs. SO
