REFLECTION OF ENLIGHTENMENT LITERATURE IN THE WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE

Abstract

ABSTRACT – the aesthetic views of Enlightenment literature were valued in that poets and writers served
the educational value of art in the interests of the reconstruction of society. Eighteenth-century writers created
enlightened political-philosophical novels, philosophical narratives, and dramatic works of a political-moral
nature. The ideas of humanism, liberalism, intelligence, and the reconstruction of society through the enlightenment
of the people, propagated in the literature of the English Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, are deeply
reflected in the poetry and drama of that period.
