The Mediadrome - Poems of the Week: Alexander Pope
This description of the period was, of course, related to literature. However, other changes were taking place; and these led to the same period being described as ‘The Enlightenment’ or ‘The Age of Reason’. These terms were related to philosophical developments, led by people such as the English thinker John Locke (1632 – 1704), the Scot David Hume (1711 – 1776), and many others. English Protestantism struggled to express itself in ways that widened the limits of freedom of speech and press.
