31、典各科学术（包括文艺、哲学、历史乃到自然科学）。这些古典学术的研究者和倡导者，被称为“人文主义者”。 古典文化大体上是人道主义 （即把人看成万物的中心）和现世主义，重视科学和哲学的探讨及对美好事物的创造和享受，要求人在身心各方面均衡发展。基督教则以神权中心和来世主义为基本内容，实行蒙昧主义和禁欲主义，两种文化形成了尖锐的对立。以人为本、以人性反神性、以人权反神权、以个性自由、理性至上和人性全面发展为理想的“人文主义”是文艺复兴运动的指导思想，也是文艺复兴时期文学的思想核心。文艺复兴运动在15世纪末、16世纪初影响到英国。早期的人文主义者托马斯莫尔、科列特、格罗辛、林纳克等被称为“牛津改革派”

32、18世纪的欧洲被称为理性时代或启蒙时代。这个时期产生了全欧性的思想运动启蒙运动。启蒙思想家们把启蒙教化民众看作改造社会的基本途径，他们推崇人的理性万能和至高无上，以理性检验旧的制度、传统观念，依赖科学、经验和理智. 在崇尚理性的文化环境中，英国文学中自德莱顿开始的古典主义蔚然成风，在18世纪上、下半叶分别以蒲伯和约翰逊为代表人物。在前期出现的新的散文文学：期刊文学和现实主义小说，也具有启蒙的性质。在中期，特别是40到50年代，现实主义小说取得辉煌成就。到18世纪后期，英国文学中出现了引人瞩目的新的文学潮流：感伤主义和前浪漫主义，表现出对理性主义的不满，预示着英国文学中新的时代浪漫主义时期的到来.
