 Define the various Questions from Neoclassical Age :-

Hello everyone, 

This blog is based upon Thinking Task of Neo-classical Age assigned by Vaidehi Ma'ma.

Q-1:- Compare the general characteristics of the Elizabethan age and Neo-classical age.

The Elizabethan Age (1558-1603) was marked by artistic flourishing, exploration, and the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It saw the rise of Shakespearean drama, the English Renaissance, and a fascination with exploration and new knowledge.

  The Neoclassical Age (1660-1798) followed, emphasizing reason, order, and imitation of classical art forms. It was characterized by a focus on reason, clarity, and moral values, often drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman literature and art. This period gave rise to writers like Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift.

  Both ages had distinct cultural and artistic trends, but they both contributed significantly to shaping the literary landscape of their respective eras.

Q-2:- Who is your favorite writer and favorite text from the Neo-Classical Age ? How is she or he different from writers of the Elizabethan and Romantic Ages ?

Favorite Writer :

My personal favorite writer from the Neo-Classical Age is Jonathan Swift(1667-1745). Johnathan Swift played a very significant role during this period. I like the most Swift's style of writing. Jonathan Swift's style of writing is very much impressive for readers and learners. Jonathan Swift was a very prominent writer during this age.  Jonathan Swift was a master of two styles of satire, the horation and juvenelian styles. Swift's most of his works written in satire and all of them very famous and really interesting to read. Jonathan Swift is my favorite writer because, I like the most Swift's style of writing, thinking process, view of assumption, power of entertainment, content power and many other remarkable concept of him. Swift's creation (Satire) is mostly known as 'Swiftian'.

 

Favorite Text :

My favorite text from Neoclassical Age that is "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift. This text I like very much to read. It's very attractive works by Jonathan Swift. I believe in that this work is very impulsing for people.  This text Gulliver's Travels concept connected with one Bollywood movie name "Jajantaram Mamantaram."

Gulliver's Travels published in the year 1726. This work is a satirical work. This is the first novel of English Literature. In this satire we can identify the struggle of Lemuel Gulliver. Gulliver love to do traveling in whole world and he like to explore the world. And it's very interesting story to read. Gulliver taller than every human. When he was in Brobdingnag at that time people putting Gulliver in the box and the people threw the box out. Then one bird take this box and throw in England. As the same he reached every four countries step by step.

At the end of the story he doesn't want to live with human and then he start living with horses. Gulliver's Travels is not for entertainment purposes but it is satire work on politicians, scientists, philosophers and English people. I really enjoyed this satire work by Jonathan Swift.

How is he different from other writers :

Jonathan Swift was very different writer from Elizabethan Age and Romantic Age writers. Jonathan Swift think about the readers as well as reality. He was worked on actual moments and believed in express originality towards people. Jonathan Swift tried to coverup every possible things in his works of art. Swift's ironic and innovative writing style attract towards people to read their works.
