There are a lot of incredible authors who wrote during different periods of human history .Those men were creative and very good observers .They described the people living in different periods of time and it was the ways of men which they took as an inspiration for their work.
John Milton
From the Neoclassical (1660-1700)period John Milton was one of the authors who used men´s interest in religion to write his famous Paradise Lost.Social needs in those years were taken more seriously than individual needs and the road to salvation was something the society was very much attentive to. A fear of the evil led people to believe in God .In Paradise Lost Milton presents Satan as a fallen angel who wants to reover his place in Heaven and will fight God so as to do so.It is not the best way to reenter Paradise but it is all he knows how to.
Elizabethan Literature(1555-1610) has its gratest author in William Shakespeare. A humanist who cared most about men´s doings and the consequences of their performaces, he wrote sonnets and plays displaying the best and the worst characteristics of the human race.Ambition, love, greed are all part of his famous tragedies which still today help to understand the human soul.
The Renaissance (1450-1555)author Nicholas. Machiavelli showed more concern with the doings of those who had power .He recognized a clear division betwwen what was public and what was private and the oppressed mass and the oppressors.In his work The Prince he described the personality of a ruler and in some very stiric way he also gave ideas on how to overthrow a ruler.
