Many critics believe that most the eighteenth-century was not a great age for English poetry. They suggest that the verse is second rate or inferior when compared to the verse of other eras. The poetry of this time, however has a distinct identity. It offers distinctive styles, themes, and theories. "On the whole, the literature of this period is chiefly a literature of wit, concerned with civilization and social relationships, and consequently, it is critical and in some degree moral or satiric" (Monk 1778).
Many different styles of poetry were used during this time period. Much eighteenth-century poetry is described as neoclassical. This was the major style used throughout the century. Writers used particular vocabulary, phrase formations, technical terms, and archaisms. John Dryden popularized this style in his late seventeenth-century poetry. Eighteenth-century poetry has an ". . . anomalous style . . . in which descriptive words, especially adjectives, verbs turned into adjectives, and long periodic passages of description predominate; action is at a minimum; wit and irony disappear" (Quintana 16). Other poetic styles made use of blank-verse, humanistic themes, odes, allegorical imagery, and descriptive styles.

Answer:
A root word means the main word from which other words can be formed.
<u>For eg:</u>
☆<u>From the word "exaggerate" you can create</u>
▪︎overexaggerate
(remember over is prefix here)
▪︎overexaggeration
(over is prefix and ion is suffix)
So the root word here is exaggerate.
☆From the word "agree" you can create
▪︎disagree
(remember <u>dis</u> is <u>prefix</u> here)
▪︎disagreement
(<u>dis</u> is <u>prefix</u> and ment is <u>suffix</u>)
So the root word here is agree.
That means the root word is the word without any prefix and suffix.
Hope you got the concept!
Is there any word choice?
