Introduction

In this course related to different types of developing age in English literature such as Augustan’s age. In addition to this, The Augustan Age was also marked by the evolution of satirical verse, the development of the novel, and the use of melodrama over political satire. The Augustan Age was also noted for the changes in philosophical thought, for example, the formalization of capitalism. The writing during this period was highly regulated and stylized, but the borders of the movement are unclear. Meaning, scholars are undecided on when exactly it begins and ends. But, the literature produced during the reign of Queen Anne, King George I, and George II is considered part of the literary period. The Augustan Age was an important period during 18th-century literature. During this period, authors like Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift created their groundbreaking satire. Their deaths in the 1740s are often used as a marker for the end of the Augustan Age. The majority of the writing produced during this period was structured and stylized, but it also foreshadowed the changes that were to come with the Romantic era. The period was an important transition away from courtly writing and towards a style of verse that is more modern. The period is also sometimes known as the Age of Reason and the age of Neoclassicism. It was marked by a new availability of books as prices fell and the trade of chapbooks and broadsheets. Periodicals were also a new development. They included The Gentleman’s Magazine and the London Magazine. Newspapers bloomed and spread throughout the country. Most of the authors during this period wrote distinctly political texts. Even those who wrote plays and poems were in some way politically active or funded by political sources. Authors also spent time writing essays criticizing other literary works, making understanding the ins and outs of some literary works difficult. Alexander Pope is regarded as the single most important poet of the period. In fact, scholars often describe his writing as dominating the Augustan Age. He has numerous enemies in the politics and social sphere, people he referred to as “the Dunces.” He fought with these contemporaries over his poetry and the proper use of a poetic voice. Two of his greatest works during this period were ‘The Rape of the Lock,’ a satire and mock-heroic, and ‘The Dunciad.’
‘The Rape of the Lock’ is the best-known work of the Augustan Age. It is also Alexander Pope‘s most famous publication. It is a mock-heroic and a wonderful example of high burlesque literature. It was first published in 1712 and then later in 1714 in a new, five-canto version. This version was accompanied by six new engravings.
The final version of the work appeared in 1717. The ‘Rape of the Lock’ details a small incident, satirizing it and comparing it to the epic, dramatic, and over-the-top world of gods. It was based on real events and got to the heart of aristocratic society. It begins when the speaker, Pope, declares that there was a “dire offence.” A man has assaulted a woman, and she has rejected him.
