问答题 British neoclassicism
【正确答案】正确答案:British neoclassicism: In English literature, the stylistic trend between the Restoration and the advent of romanticism at the beginning of the 19 th century is referred to as neoclassicism. The term "neoclassicism" is derived from the convictions of the leading poet-critics of the age that literary theory and practice should follow the models established by Greek and Latin writers. These critics held that writers should emphasize types rather than individual characteristics; adhere to "nature" by aspiring to order and regularity; and strictly observe the unities of time, place, and action in dramatic composition. Major British neoclassicists are John Dryden, Alexander Pope and Samuel Johnson.
