17th century literature

At this time, it is an important intermediary and bridge for the transition from Renaissance humanistic literature to Enlightenment literature. It mainly includes British bourgeois revolutionary literature or Puritan literature, French classical literature and baroque literature.

John milton, a representative figure of British bourgeois revolutionary literature, draws his poems Paradise Lost, paradise regained and Samson from the Bible.

The representative of French classical literature is Descartes' rationalism philosophy. The most representative dramatic principle of classical literature is the three unification, which is characterized by supporting kingship, absolutely obeying reason, imitating the ancients and attaching importance to the law of creation. This comedy is represented by Moliere. Affectionate Doctor, Ridiculous Witch, Girls' School, Hypocrite, Don Juan, World Hater, Miser, An Altar of Gold, Scabies' Trick and Groaning without Disease are all his representative works. The representatives of the tragedy are Sid of Gao Naiyi and andromache and Fidel of Racine. The fable poem of the fable poet La Fontaine shows the human world through animals, which has strong reality. Bulova's "The Art of Poetry" clearly puts forward the aesthetic principles of classicism: to pursue rationality, to be archaized, and to follow the writing rules of different genres, which are the artistic principles of classicism.

Representative of Baroque Literature: Mario, a famous Italian "marino Poet School", created adonis through Roman mythology and described the love between Venus, the goddess of love, and adonis, an American teenager. Spain is represented by "Gonggla Poetry School". His poems are full of imagination, metaphor and mystery, emphasizing form over content, abusing exaggerated and obscure words and allusions, and forming an obscure and flashy style. The highest achievement is the Spanish writer Calderon, whose Life is Like a Dream fully embodies the characteristics of Baroque literature.
