The lifted ax, the agonizing wheel, Luke's iron crown, and Damien's bed of steel, To men remote from power but rarely known, Leave reason, faith and conscience all our own. Oliver Goldsmith I As the speaker in Oliver Goldsmith's "The Traveller" implies, "the smooth current of domestic joy" in eighteenth-century Britain was supposed to run its "secret course" untouched by history, power, torture, or storm. Families should, instead, seek a "remote" space for rational, spiritual and moral self-possession, "consign'd" to a state where the devious uses of the ax, wheel, crown, and bed are "rarely known." Whether simply found or actively made, "domestic joy" ought to be

It is situated on the north side of the Thames, surrounded by Stoke Newington, Camden, Hackney, Haringey and the City. In the Anglo-Saxon charter of AD 1000 it is referred to as ‘Gislandune’ and later in the Domesday Book as ‘Isendone’ and ‘Iseldone’, which probably means the lower town or fort. It was made up of four manors – Barnsbury, Canonbury, Prebend and Highbury. There is evidence that prehistoric man had settlements in the area, and the Romans had a summer camp in Highbury. For a time it was believed that the main Roman road from London to the north (Ermine Street) was situated along Highbury Grove, Highbury Park and part of Blackstock Road. This, however, has been disproved through archaeological research and there is a strong belief that Kingsland Road, Stoke Newington Road and Stamford Hill in the borough of Hackney are the site. Several of the major roads running through Islington were important routes out of London originating as early as the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. By the seventeenth century all the roads were in a state of disrepair and, as they were a vital link for the City, the Company of Clothworkers gave money annually for their repair; gradually a series of turnpikes were set up. In 1756 the New Road was built, later to become Marylebone, Euston and Pentonville Roads. It was a forty feet wide road, the earliest by-pass linking Paddington Green and Islington (north-west London) to the City.

29. Augustan Drama - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Fielding s Tom Thumb (1730) was a satire on all of the tragedies written Very late in the Augustan period, Oliver Goldsmith attempted to resist the tide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustan_drama

Augustan drama From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Augustan drama can refer to the dramas of Ancient Rome during the reign of Caesar Augustus , but it most commonly refers to the plays of Great Britain in the early 18th century, a subset of 18th-century Augustan literature King George I referred to himself as "Augustus," and the poets of the era took this reference as apropos, as the literature of Rome during Augustus moved from historical and didactic poetry to the poetry of highly finished and sophisticated epics and satire In poetry, the early 18th century was an age of satire and public verse, and in prose, it was an age of the developing novel . In drama, by contrast, it was an age in transition between the highly witty and sexually playful Restoration comedy , the pathetic she-tragedy of the turn of the century, and any later plots of middle-class anxiety. The Augustan stage retreated from the Restoration's focus on cuckoldry, marriage for fortune, and a life of leisure. Instead, Augustan drama reflected questions the mercantile class had about itself and what it meant to be gentry : what it meant to be a good merchant, how to achieve wealth with morality, and the proper role of those who serve.

Department of English EN2050 From Satire to Sensibility: Literature 1660-1789 (Year 2, Semester 2) Number of credits Core/optional: Core Module aims This module has three aims: to introduce students to a wide variety of authors crucial to the development of the cultural and political landscape of modern Britain (the period covers the literature of the Restoration and the subsequent 'ages' of neo-classicism and sensibility); to foster an awareness of different genres (chiefly, the rise of satire and dramatic comedy, the development of the novel, and, in poetry, the shift from formal precision to self-conscious expressionism); to enhance understanding of the cultural and intellectual issues shaping the works (e.g. the split between court and popular culture in the Restoration; the persistence of the Puritan confessional tradition; the opposition between town and country; the relations between the sexes). Content Learning and Teaching In addition to providing students with an introduction to the work of the eight named authors, lectures will encourage students to look closely at formal developments, to be aware of the influence of intellectual and socio-historical factors and to consider influential critical approaches. In seminars students will be required to reflect on their reading of the main authors and to engage in informed discussion with their peers. Students will be given the opportunity to write two trial pieces in advance of the examination. One will be an exercise and the other a 2,000-word essay, to be submitted to the course tutor for an agreed deadline. The tutor will provide feedback for all work submitted on time.

Article History Create an account or log in Ireland Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke (1678 - December 12, 1751), was an English statesman and writer. (Note that in Britain the surname "St John" is pronounced Sinj'n and "Bolingbroke" is pronounced Bullingbrook or Bullenbrook He was the son of Sir Henry St John, Bart. (afterwards 1st Viscount St John), and of Lady Mary Rich, daughter of the 2nd Earl of Warwick. His exact date of birth is unknown, but he was baptized on October 10 1678, and was educated at Eton. He travelled abroad during 1698 and 1699 and acquired an exceptional knowledge of French, but also led an exceptionally dissipated and extravagant youth. Oliver Goldsmith reported that he had been seen to "run naked through the park in a state of intoxication." Swift , his intimate friend, said that he wanted to be thought the Alcibiades or Petronius of his age, and to mix licentious orgies with the highest political responsibilities. In 1700 he married Frances, daughter of Sir Henry Winchcombe, Bart., of Bucklebury, Berkshire, but this made little difference to his lifestyle. He was returned to parliament in 1701 for the family borough of Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire, as a
