Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Poetry 1660-1780, originally published in 1981, considers poetry written between 1660 and 1780, a period which, although largely recovered from its nineteenth-century reputation, still attracts widely varying critical responses. Abandoning the old labels such as ‘neoclassicism’, ‘romanticism’ and ‘sensibility’, the author focuses on descriptions of genres and their formal elements and traces the broader patterns of literary and historical change running through the period. Eric Rothstein describes different poetic modes- panegyric, satire, pastoral and topographical poetry, the epistle, and the ode- to suggest their aesthetical possibilities as well as their process of change. He also considers style and the uses of the past, topics which have often caused particular problems for the students of the period. What becomes clear is the extraordinary originality, flexibility and power with which Restoration and eighteenth-century poets handles the stylistic assumptions and the body of poems they inherited and employed in their own works.

The eighteenth century in English literature has been called the Augustan Age the Neoclassical Age, and the Age of Reason. The term 'the Augustan Age' comes from the self-conscious imitation of the original Augustan writers, Virgil and Horace, by many of the writers of the period. Specifically, the Augustan Age was the period after the Restoration era to the death of Alexander Pope (~1690 - 1744). The major writers of the age were Pope and John Dryden in poetry, and Jonathan Swift and Joseph Addison in prose. Dryden forms the link between Restoration and Augustan literature; although he wrote ribald comedies in the Restoration vein, his verse satires were highly admired by the generation of poets who followed him, and his writings on literature were very much in a neoclassical spirit. I particularly aimed at interpretation of sociopolitical milieu of Augustan Age, of social change, of literary tendencies of the age, and of prose, novel, poetry and drama of the Augustan Age.

The Cambridge Companion to Eighteenth-Century Poetry analyzes major premises, preoccupations, and practices of English poets writing from 1700 to the 1790s. These specially-commissioned essays avoid familiar categories and single-author approaches to look at the century afresh. Chapters consider such large poetic themes as nature, the city, political passions, the relation of death to desire and dreams, appeals to an imagined future, and the meanings of 'sensibility'. Other chapters explore historical developments such as the connection between poetic couplets and conversation, the conditions of publication, changing theories of poetry and imagination, growing numbers of women poets and readers, the rise of a self-consciously national tradition, and the place of lyric poetry in thought and practice. The essays are well supported by supplementary material including a chronology of the period and detailed guides to further reading. Altogether the volume provides an invaluable resource for scholars and students.

Augustan Measures is the first comprehensive survey of Restoration and 18th century writings on metre and poetic form; it focuses mainly on the debates caused by the perceived differences between the couplet and blank verse.Since the 1950s the study of versification has been dominated by the methodologies and the terminology of modern linguistics. The purpose of this monograph is to provide a survey of the techniques and findings of our 17th and 18th century precursors. Bradford here translates the technical vocabulary of the latter, which in any event conformed to no agreed methodological consensus, into terms which are readily accessible to scholars of poetry and poetics.While the work of critics such as Dryden, John Dennis and Samuel Johnson exists in 20th century editions, many of the other critics covered here-for example Woodford, Kames, Sheridan, Say, and Bysshe-are not available to modern readers even in microfiche reproductions; their works can only be consulted in copyright libraries such as the Bodleian, Oxford. Bradford's surveys of what they wrote will be useful principally because their writings are intriguing in their own right, and also because they are, to most modern readers and scholars without immediate access to copyright libraries, unknown.The volume begins with an examination of 16th and early 17th century writings on metre as the background to the 18th century debates, and with a look at criticism from Dryden to Dennis. Thereafter the author reviews the conflicting and often confusing theories forwarded by later-17th and 18th century critics on the nature of the syllable as a unit of prosodic measurement, and discusses the contributions of the Prescriptive and Elocutionist critics. The final chapters focus on rhyme and on blank verse, the topics of many of the most contentious 18th century debates on poetic form; Bradford concentrates upon how and why the blank verse of Milton and his 18th-century successors raised particular questions for contemporary critics.
