 Augustan literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Augustan literature is a style of English literature whose origins correspond roughly with the reigns of Queen Anne, King George I, and George II.
This new Augustan period exhibited exceptionally bold political writings in all genres, with the satires of the age marked by an arch, ironic pose, full of nuance, and a superficial air of dignified calm that hid sharp criticisms beneath.
Very late in the Augustan period, Oliver Goldsmith attempted to resist the tide of sentimental comedy with She Stoops to Conquer (1773), and Richard Brinsley Sheridan would mount several satirical plays after Walpole's death, but to a large degree the damage had been done and would last for a century.

Moreover, the presence of bracing walls and underground props in the foundation piers of the single arch, he suggests, might well suggest a reason for the construction of a new arch: not a change in political ideology but cracks in the structure that threatened collapse.
What Gurval ultimately suggests is not all that far from the standard view; in short, he grants the possibility of an earlier arch for Octavian's victory in civil war but insists that it not be called or understood as "Actian." This is not unreasonable given the evidence.
Yet the replacement of an arch commemorating a victory in civil war with one that honors a foreign conquest does represent a significant change of focus, even if the replacement was mandated by structural concerns.

Of the "secular" buildings that were erected in Augustan Rome (the Saepta, Diribitorium, Macellum Liviae, Baths of Agrippa, honorific arches, etc.), none seems to have been formally endowed in itself with a specific "religious" quality.
Even if Favro rejects a suggestion that such an arch was not actually erected, it is surely inappropriate now to state as a matter of fact that the "Parthian" Arch was placed between the Temple of Divus Julius and the Temple of Castor and Pollux (159).
Chapter 6 ("Meaning: Reading the Augustan City") is divided into sections with interesting headings: "Physical Unity," "Programmatic Unity," "Experiential Legibility," "Unifying Involvement," and "Legacy."
