they emulated classical styles
The writers of the Enlightenment are called neoclassical because they drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman literature and philosophy. They believed in reason, logic, and rationality, similar to the values of classical civilizations. Neoclassical writers sought to emulate the style and themes of ancient works in their own writing.
Romantic writers and poets such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Lord Byron followed the neoclassical writers. They rejected the formalism of the neoclassical approach and focused on individual emotion and experience.
