Answer to Question 1

The Age of Reason is an apt name for the Enlightenment, which was a period that glorified humans' power to reason and analyze. It was a time when fear, superstition, and ignorance gave way to science and secular reasoning, leading to social transformation and new forms of government.

Answer to Question 2

The writers of these and other anti-theatre books believed that the theatre encouraged idleness, perverted the youth, and promoted impiety. They documented thousands of abominations perpetrated by the theatre and saw the issues as at least partly due to the shortcomings in English education.
