The bourgeoisie grew (in 1964 there was the foundation of the Bank of England) and aimed to increase its wealth and culture. :
• The first cafeterias opened, in which one met for business and to talk about the news. "The Tatler" and "the spectator" were the first published: they were the first newspaper. The main purpose of "The Spectator" was to "revive morality with wit and temper it with morality," which is to entertain and educate at the same time.
• The new bourgeoisie lacked a classical education and needed to be informed, to become gentlemen with good mammals and tastes, self-control of emotions, to increase their knowledge and culture.
• The style was simple and direct, the novel became the most common form of fiction, it is fictional, and tells of events and fictional characters although representative of real life.
The 18th-century novelist was the spokesman of the middle class: he wrote in a simple way to be understood by less educated readers.
History must attract the trader from the practical mentality: the subject is always the middle-class man and his problems; the characters fight for survival or social success.
• The Augustan age: (700) is the age of reason, the age of "ENLIGHTENMENT“, it was an era that rejected imagination and romanticism: it was the triumph of reason, order and rationality**
