Traits of the period
the Restoration separated the personal in come of the king from the public revenue of the kingdom which had hitherto been identified with it

Traits of the period
The reign of King Charles I, the Civil War, and the rule of the Commonwealth were not favorable to literary production.
The age was materialist and cynical Its tragedy was insincere, stilted, and
unconvincing. Its comedy was brilliant, but it was not merely non-moral and irresponsible
There were discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton in the field of physics.
