The reign of Augustus Caesar is regarded as the golden age of Latin or roman literature.the age of Dryden and Alexander Pope is called Augustan age in literature i.e;the last quarter of the 17th century and the first half of the 18th century.The English literary men of the period hated both restoration profligacy and puritanism.Their primary aim hence was to teach and therefore their style was didactic.Their fav. form of writing = satire.They tried to reform by ridiculing the foolishness and wickedness.their attitude was rationalistic and utilitarian.their works are examples of perfect craftsmanship.But their were works are very artificial and less spontaneous.they spring not from heart but from head.in short they are known for correctness, elegance and finish!

Neoclassics were showing very little interest in the outdoor world and they also used artificial language.In addition to that they did not talk about their feelings.They used heroic couplets.Alexander Pope was the most important poet in Augustan Age and they thought he was superior to Shakespeare.They were interested in ancient classics of Greece and Rome...
