Differentiate between Classicism and Romanticism, giving examples. 

Classicism and Romanticism are two major cultural movements in literature, art, and philosophy that emerged in different historical periods, each with its own set of ideals, values, and aesthetic preferences. Both movements played a pivotal role in shaping British poetry and drama in the 17th and 18th centuries, although they emerged at different times and with distinct characteristics.

Classicism:
Classicism, often associated with the 17th century, refers to the literary and artistic traditions that were heavily influenced by the culture and ideals of ancient Greece and Rome. The classical period in Western literature emphasized reason, order, harmony, and the importance of following established rules. Classicism in British literature, particularly in poetry and drama, was characterized by a preference for clarity, restraint, and formal structure.

One of the key features of classicism was its adherence to the *three unities*—unity of time, place, and action—in dramatic works. This meant that classical plays were expected to take place within a single day, in a single location, and to revolve around one primary action. Classical writers believed that human nature was constant, and their works often portrayed individuals whose actions and fates were shaped by reason and moral principles. The classical approach emphasized formal correctness, symmetry, and rationality in both form and content.

A prime example of British classicism in drama is John Dryden's work, particularly his tragedies like *All for Love* (1678). Dryden __________ ____ ______ __________ ___ ____.
