New freedoms of the 1688-1689 English revolution created a market-driven press where writers competed to entertain or to improve society. Included are poets, preachers, and essayists such as Milton, Dryden, Pope, Thomson, and John Wesley; dramatists such as Goldsmith and Sheridan; novelists such as Bunyan, Swift, Defoe, and Johnson; and authors of travel and slave narratives such as Olaudah Equiano and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.
