The term Classical refers to ancient Latin literature which flourished in the Roman Empire.The Latin poets and critics of this age were believed to be the best models and ultimate standards of literary taste.The English poets and critics of early eighteenth century felt honoured in being able to copy these classical poets and critics.Hence they were called Neo-Classicalists.Again,like these Latin poets and talent of individual genius and had absolute faith in the laws and rules as prescribed and practised by the ancients.

Module-3 The Augustan Age
The Augustan Age /18th Century /Classical /Neo-Classical /Age of Pope /Age of Johnson /(1700- 1745-1798).
Why is it called The Augustan Age.
Those who used this term earlier believed that as the Age of Emperor Augustus was the golden age in Latin Literature in the Roman Empire,so 18th century was the golden age in literature in England.Now the term has just become a catchward to draw an anology between the English Literature of the first half of the eighteenth century and the Latin Literature of the first half of the eighteenth century and the Latin literature of the times of Vergil and Horace..In both cases literature was produced of self -conscious and deliberate art.
