Camille Esparza
1st period: (extending to the death of Dryden in 1700)
- Characterised by an effort to bring a new refinement to English literature according to sound critical principles of what is right and fitting.
2nd period: ( ending with the deaths of Pope in 1744 and Swift in 1745)
- extends that effort to a wider circle of readers, with special satirical attention to what is unfitting and wrong.
3rd period: ( concluding with the death of Johnson in 1784 -1785)
- confronts the old principles with revolutionary ideas that would come to the fore in the Romantic movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
