Caroline Literature
Literature in Britain during the reign of Charles I (1625–49). The title ‘Caroline’ derives from the Latin for Charles, Carolus. The period was marked by increasing religious and social tension, which eventually found expression in the English Civil War.
This short period marks the watershed between the culture of Elizabethan literature and Jacobean literature in England. To some extent, the Caroline period sees the death of many major authors and the birth of important authors of the period of Restoration literature, but there is not the same wealth of authors specifically associated with Caroline literature as with other literary periods.
