§  Background of Augustan Age:

The eighteenth century in English literature has been called the “Augustan Age”, the neo-calssical age, and the age of Reason.

    The term the Augustan age come from the self conscious imitation of the original Augustan writer Virgil and Herace, by many of the writers of the period. This is partly a result of the politic al of naming inherent in literary history. Then other it is the name of Alexander pope which is associated with the Augustan age.

  

§  Political background in the Neo-Classical Age:

Historicists of Romantic literature however in distinction from most Renaissance historicists, often name their critical procedures political reading of a literary text reading in which they stress quasifreudian.

The primary aim of a political reader of a literary text is to undo these ideological disguises and suppression in order to uncover its subtext of historical and political conflict and oppression which are the text’s true, although covert or unmentioned subject matter.

          The interpretive procedures of this critical mode have interacted with the earlier concern of feminist critics, who stressed the role of male power structures in forming dominant ideological and culture constructs. The thesis is that in order not only to some degree allow but also actively fosters “subversive” elements and force. The view of the general triumph of containment over the force of subversion has been criticized as “pessimistic” and “quietists” by the group of new histotiricists known as “cultural materialists’” who insets on the capacity of subversive ideas and practices.

          The most important figure in terms of lasting literary influence during this period, however was undoubtedly. The English novel was a product of several differing literary tradition. The true pioneers of the women writers pursuing their craft in opposition to the classical refined precepts of the writers defining the Augustan Age. Neoclassical theorists, by contrast saw man as an imperfect being inherently sinful, whose potation was limited.

          The idea of political parties first took from in Britain and the conservations claims to be the oddest political party in the world. Political parties began to from during the English evil wars of the 1640s and 1650s. First there were royalist and parliamentarians; the Tories and Whigs.

§  Three major political parties in the British system of political:

1)    The Labor party –the contreleft party.

2)    The conservative party –the centre right party.

3)    The Liberal Democrat party – the centrist libertarian party.

                  Each political party choose its leader in a different. In addition to these main parties, there are some much smaller UK parties and some parties which operate specifically in Scotland or northern Ireland. Every leader member involve in parliament of the party and all the individual members that party. Political party are an all important feature of the British political system because: The three main political party in the UK have existed for a century or more and have ,a strong and stable brand image.

          It is virtually impossible for someone to be eleated to the house of commons without being a member of an established political party.

All political parties strongly ‘whif their selected members which man that on the vast majority of issues members of parliament of the same party vote as a ‘block’

Having said this intuenece of the three main political parties is not as dominant as it was in the 1940

The three parties have small membership than. They did since voters are much as less inclince to join a political party.

The three parties secure a lower overall percentage of the total vote since smaller parties between them now take a growing share of the vote.

The ideological differences between the parties are less than they were with the parties adopting more pragmatic positions on membership.

In the British political system there is a broad consensus between the major parties on

The rule of law

The free market economy

The National Health Service

Uk membership of European.

§  The main different between the political parties concern:

         How to take poverty and inequality.

         The levels and forms of taxation.

         The extent of state intervention in the economy.

         The balance between collective right and individual right.

           

All Government Ministers have to be a member of the either the house of comers or the house of lords and every government department with have at least one minister in the in either house as necessary. In political parties have on prime minister, who lead the party, and take final decision now we see that how prime minister work in their party.

§  The prime minister:

Constitutionally the head of state is the monarch who is a hereditary member of the Royal family. In theory the prime minister simply choses the minister who run government department and chairs the cabinet the collection of the most senior of these minister.

§  Government Departments:

The most important political department are called:

          The Treasury:

                   This department is management of the economy part. In most country this would be called the minister of finance.

         

          The Home Office:

                   This department take responsibility of criminal matter policing, and immigration. In most countries, this would be called the minister of the Interior.

         

          The Foreign and Commonwealth Office:

                   It is responsibility for all our international relationship, especially our membership of the European union.

                   Although all minister are appointed by the prime minister an report to him, ultimately. All minister are accountable to parliament.

§  Conclusion:

We see that in the Neo-classical age, on political background that in early year also many political parties who want to lead country. Every party have one main leader who have every power of parties. Many narrative common at this time did not fit into a literary era which defined itself as neoclassical.
