The final section covers the reign of William III after the death of his wife, the literary responses to the situation of Princess Anne following the death of her son, and the continuing tensions in Parliament between the Whigs and Tories. There were increasing literary satires on foreigners in power and the desire to define Englishness. After the death of John Dryden, dramatists including William Congreve and John Vanbrugh continued to resist Jeremy Collier’s desire to reform the theatre. Newcomers such as Alexander Pope and Susanna Centlivre arrived and made their debut as poets and dramatists. Satires against women and marriage continued against a backdrop of famous divorce trials, while writers such as Daniel Defoe called for a reformed society starting with the aristocratic elite.
