Restoration Literature

• During Cromwell (Puritan) theatres were closed (immoral and unholy)
  
• Restoration: revival of the theatre, but French-style: mostly comedies, aimed at nobles and courtiers, whereas Shakespeare wrote plays for people of all social ranks.
  
• Shakespeare’s plays were much more refined, Restoration drama lacked depth and was rather vulgar.

2nd Anglo-Dutch War

A surprise attack in June 1667, the Raid on the Medway, on the English fleet in its home port arguably won the war for the Dutch; it is considered to be one of the most humiliating defeats in British military history. A flotilla of ships led by Admiral de Ruyter sailed up the Thames Estuary, broke through the defences guarding Chatham Harbour, set fire to ships of the English fleet moored there, and towed away HMS Unity and the Royal Charles, the pride of the English fleet. Also in June 1667, the Dutch sailed a vessel from New Amsterdam into what is now Hampton Roads, Virginia, destroying a British ship in the harbour and attacking its fort.

• 1a The Dutch fleet is considerably larger than that of the English (90 to 60)
  
• b The outcome of the battles varied somewhat: the English had the upper hand in the early stages, despite having fewer vessels; then the Dutch proceeded chasing after the English.
• 2 He divided his fleet into 2 squadrons comprising 40 and 30 vessels.
  
• 3a Cheerful (mightily pleased)
  
• b Lines 34 to 35: the account he did give him of the fight and the success it ended with.
  
• c Incorrect. Lines 36 to 37: though it did seem …the Duke gave way again and again.

• 10 Compact style; businesslike, almost journalistic.
