The Augustan VisionFirst published in 1974, The Augustan Vision looks at the entire spectacle of Augustan Society in an attempt to see English culture as a whole and thus gain greater insight into this critical period in English Literature. Later parts of the book explore poetry, drama, and aesthetics; that distinctive expression of the age, satire, where abuse is made into art, and the moral essay; and finally, the emerging novel, the crucial new form of this period. This is a must read for students and researchers of English literature. |

primal Augustan terror is that things will merge. It might be said that the eighteenth century could take anything so long as it was divided up. So we get in aesthetics as in thought at large a sort of cultural apartheid very perplexing ...
