Famous among the great enlighteners in England were those great writers like John Dryden， Alexander pope & so on.

They believed that the artistic ideals should be order， logic， restrained emotion & accuracy， & that literature should be judged in terms of its service to humanity.

Thus， a polite， urbane， witty， & intellectual art developed.
