The 17th century was a golden age for European literature, marked by classicism in France and the rise of theater in England. In France, authors such as Molière, Racine, and Corneille created major works that defined the rules of classical theater and explored human passions. In England, William Shakespeare, although his work began in the 16th century, continued to profoundly influence the literary scene, alongside playwrights like Ben Jonson.
