520 _a"Histoire de la Littérature Anglaise (Volume 3 de 5)" by Hippolyte Taine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the English literary scene during the era of the Restoration, exploring the cultural and moral transformations that occurred in literature and society during this tumultuous period. The text delves into the characters and works of prominent figures of the age, including poets and playwrights who shaped the literary landscape. The opening of the text discusses the significant cultural shift that followed the strict puritanism of the English Civil War, leading to a resurgence of sensuality and hedonism with the Restoration of the monarchy. Taine paints a vivid picture of the remnants of puritan morality being replaced by extravagant court life, rife with debauchery and a new social atmosphere, as exemplified by figures like Charles II and the decadent poet Rochester. Through detailed observations and analysis, Taine lays the groundwork for a discussion of significant literary works and influences that reflect this historical backdrop, indicating a stark contrast between the constrained lives of puritans and the unrestrained lifestyles that followed in the literary works of the time.
