Restoration Period in English Literature (1660-1700)
-
ইংরেজি সাহিত্যে Restoration Period শুরু হয় ১৬৬০ সালে, যখন ইংল্যান্ডে রাজতন্ত্র পুনঃস্থাপিত হয়। এই যুগের শেষ হয় ১৭০০ সালে।
-
এটি The Neoclassical Period-এর একটি অংশ, অর্থাৎ এটি পুরো নব্য-ধ্রুপদী যুগের ভেতরের একটি ছোট সময়কাল।
-
এই সময়টিকে Restoration Period বলা হয় কারণ রাজা দ্বিতীয় চার্লস (Charles II) পুনরায় সিংহাসনে ফিরে আসার মাধ্যমে ইংরেজ রাজতন্ত্র পুনঃস্থাপিত হয়। এর সঙ্গে সঙ্গে সাহিত্যের ধারাও নতুনভাবে বিকশিত হয়।
-
এই যুগের সবচেয়ে প্রভাবশালী সাহিত্যিক ছিলেন John Dryden। তিনি ছিলেন একজন কবি, নাট্যকার ও সাহিত্য সমালোচক। তাঁর অবদানের জন্য এই সময়কে অনেক সময় "The Age of Dryden"-ও বলা হয়।
