It has recently been argued that the 18th century can no longer be
1 seen as gripped in the strait-jacket of Augustanism and
Neoclassicism. Such labels are seen as doing less than justice to
the rich variety of individual talents and intellectual trends
which collectively constitute 18th century culture. While welcoming
the interment of the long standing myth of the peace of the
Augustans, there seems little point in placing an interdict on
labels which, willy-nilly, have stuck. In economic, social and
ecclesiastical terms there is an age between 1689 and 1789 whose
homogeneity is reflected in its cultural products. There is a
mainstream which the strength and variety of counter currents and
cross-currents corroborate rather than disintegrate. It is the
purpose of this study to reveal some aspects of this mainstream by
examining certain cross-currents which overlap its edges. Hence the
choice of Thomas Ken (1637-1711), John Byrom (1692-1763) and
William Law (1686-1761)."
