Mathew Arnold
The Restoration Age was an important era in the development of English prose. It was the period when English prose moved from antiquity to modernity. The Age of Dryden is also known as the age of restoration. Mathew Arnold observes in this connection “the restoration marks the real moment of birth of modern prose. After the restoration, English prose breaks with the time preceding and it finds the true laws of prose, and becomes modern, becomes despite superficial differences, the style of our own day”.The spread of common sense and the critical temper of mind played an important role in raising modern prose. It extended the influence of science which gave birth to the clearness of thought and plainness of expression.
