As a cultural movement, it encompassed innovative flowering of Latin and vernacular literatures, beginning with the 14th-century resurgence of learning based on classical sources, and gradual but widespread educational reform. Historians often argue this intellectual transformation was a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. Although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.Neoclassicism新古典主义In the 18th century in English literature, the Enlightenment Movement brought about a revival of interest in the old classical works. The tendency is known as neoclassicism. The neoclassicists modeled themselves after the Greek and Latin authors, and tried to guide literary creation by some fixed laws and rules drawn from Greek and Latin works.Rhymed couplet instead of blank verse, the three unities of time, place and action, regularity in construction, and the presentation of types rather than individuals were some of the standards the classicists required of drama. Poetry should be lyric, epic, didactic, satiric or dramatic, and each class should be guided by its own principles. Prose should be precise, direct, smooth and flexible. The representatives are Pope and Samuel Johnson. Enlightenment启蒙主义运动It was a progressive intellectual movement which flourished in France and swept through the whole Western Europe at the time. The movement was a furtherance of the Renaissance of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.Its purpose was to enlighten the whole world with the light of modern philosophical and artistic ideas.
