Restoration literature
Restoration literature is the English literature written during the historical period commonly referred to as the English Restoration (1660–1689), which corresponds to the last years of the direct Stuart reign in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
 In general, the term is used to denote roughly homogeneous styles of literature that center on a celebration of or reaction to the restored court of Charles II.
 It is a literature that includes extremes, for it encompasses both "Paradise Lost" and the Earl of Rochester's "Sodom", the high-spirited sexual comedy of "The Country Wife" and the moral wisdom of "The Pilgrim's Progress".
 It saw Locke's "Treatises of Government", the founding of the Royal Society, the experiments and holy meditations of Robert Boyle, the hysterical attacks on theaters from Jeremy Collier, and the pioneering of literary criticism from John Dryden and John Dennis.
 The period witnessed news become a commodity, the essay develop into a periodical art form, and the beginnings of textual criticism.
Robert Boyle
Robert William Boyle {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (25 January 1627 – 31 December 1691) was an Anglo-Irish natural philosopher, chemist, physicist and inventor born in Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland.
 Boyle is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist, and therefore one of the founders of modern chemistry, and one of the pioneers of modern experimental scientific method.
 He is best known for Boyle's law, which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system.
 Among his works, "The Sceptical Chymist" is seen as a cornerstone book in the field of chemistry.
 He was a devout and pious Anglican and is noted for his writings in theology.

The term Middle English literature refers to the literature written in the form of the English language known as Middle English, from the 12th century until the 1470s.
 During this time the Chancery Standard, a form of London-based English became widespread and the printing press regularized the language.
 Between the 1470s and the middle of the following century there was a transition to early Modern English.
 In literary terms, the characteristics of the literary works written did not change radically until the effects of the Renaissance and Reformed Christianity became more apparent in the reign of King Henry VIII.
 There are three main categories of Middle English Literature: Religious, Courtly love, and Arthurian, though much of Geoffrey Chaucer's work stands outside these.
 Among the many religious works are those in the Katherine Group and the writings of Julian of Norwich and Richard Rolle. Two Treatises of Government
Two Treatises of Government (or Two Treatises of Government: In the Former, The False Principles, and Foundation of Sir Robert Filmer, and His Followers, Are Detected and Overthrown.
 The Latter Is an Essay Concerning The True Original, Extent, and End of Civil Government) is a work of political philosophy published anonymously in 1689 by John Locke.
 The "First Treatise" attacks patriarchalism in the form of sentence-by-sentence refutation of Robert Filmer's "Patriarcha", while the "Second Treatise" outlines Locke's ideas for a more civilized society based on natural rights and contract theory. Restoration (England)
The Restoration of the English monarchy took place during the Stuart period.
 It began in 1660 when the English, Scottish and Irish monarchies were all restored under the Stuart King Charles II.
 It followed the Interregnum that followed the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
 The term "Restoration" is used to describe both the actual event by which the monarchy was restored, and the period of several years afterwards in which a new political settlement was established.
 It is very often used to cover the whole reign of Charles II (1660–1685) and often the brief reign of his younger brother James II (1685–1688).
 In certain contexts it may be used to cover the whole period of the later Stuart monarchs as far as the death of Queen Anne and the accession of the Hanoverian George I in 1714; for example Restoration comedy typically encompasses works written as late as 1710. Literature of England
