INTRΟDUCTIΟN
The fundamental literary tendencies of the age of the Enlightenment in England were classicism, realism,sentimentalism and early romanticism, out of which, sentimentalism is a very English phenomenon.An early exponent of sentimentalism was Richard Steele. The depths of sentimentalism have been reached with the aid of some dramatists who confirmed how every human problem may want to be obscured in the welter of emotion. From such depths the drama used to be rescued by means of Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Sheridan. The XVIII century gave the world such magnificent English writers as Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Henry Fielding, Samuel Richardson, Tobias Smollet and famous dramatist Richard Brinsley Sheridan. With Fielding thenovel had come of age. He had mounted it in one of its most exquisite forms, middle-class realism. He had endowed it with a conception of forms, and made it an art not unworthy of assessment with the pictorial art.Many pupils reflect on consideration on Samuel Richardson’s “Pamela” (1740) to be the first genuine novel in English. This e book is highly moralistic. In contrast, the novels of Henry Fielding and Tobias Smollet are humorous and satiric. Laurence Stern was another main novelist of the period. With the above-mentioned writers, yet heritage by myself was lacking, and was once to continue to be absent until Walter Scott gave it lavishly in his fictions. Above all, he had less reticence than Richardson, and less than any of the novelists that succeeded him in the nineteenth century.
