Augustan drama can refer to the dramas of Ancient Rome during the reign of Caesar Augustus, but it most commonly refers to the plays of Great Britain in the early 18th century, a subset of 18th-century Augustan literature. King George I referred to himself as "Augustus," and the poets of the era took this reference as apropos, as the literature of Rome during Augustus moved from historical and didactic poetry to the poetry of highly finished and sophisticated epics and satire.

  • El Teatro augusto (en inglés: Augustan drama) puede referirse al teatro de la Antigua Roma durante el reinado de César Augusto, pero dentro de la crítica literaria inglesa se refiere sobre todo a las obras de Gran Bretaña a principios del siglo XVIII, siendo un subgénero dentro de la literatura augusta de dicha centuria. El rey Jorge I se refería a sí mismo como «Augusto», y los poetas de la época cogieron esta referencia muy oportunamente, pues la literatura de Roma en la época de Augusto pasó de la poesía histórica y didáctica a la poesía épica y la sátira, refinadas y sofisticadas.
