1.3 Brief survey of Literatures in English

Image
The history of English Literature is divided into distinct phases termed as "Ages" or "periods" with their characteristic features. These are named after a major literary writer or the ruling monarch of that period such as Age of Shakespeare or Elizabethan Age. The earliest of the phases of English literature is called Anglo Saxon period after the Germanic tribes who settled in the Celtic British Isles. This period produced Oral Literature with songs about battles, god's, heroes and legends. This period set the tone for English Poetry with the works of poets such as Caedmon and Cynewulf. The best known work in this period is the Old English poem Beowulf . The Norman (French) conquest of England in 1066 with the Battle of Hastings brought a new or Modern direction to the literature of the Middle English Period. The French influence in the culture, social life and literature of this period is immense. This period produced writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, Thomas M...

POETRY : INTRODUCTION (Subjective and Objective)

Subjective and Objective Poetry Poetry treats of two kinds of subject matter - that which is supplied by external objects, such as deeds, events and the things we see around us and that which is supplied by the poet's own thoughts and feelings. The former gives rise to Objective Poetry , the latter to subjective. In one case, the poet functions as a detached observer, describing what he has seen or heard; in the other he brings to bear his own reflections upon what he has seen or heard. The same subject may, of course, be treated either way.

One might put it more briefly by saying that Objective Poetry is impersonal, Subjective is personal. In the former the focus of attention is something that is outward - a prai...

Poetry: LYRIC

Origin: Greek song was divided into two classes- melic or lyric song which was sung by a single voice to the accompaniment of a lyre; and choric song, which was intended for collective singing to the accompaniment of instrumental music, supplemented, probably, by a dance. True to its Greek origin, Lyric has the two characteristics: i) it is an expression of a single emotion ii) it is a musical composition The music in the Lyric: In ancient times music provided by the minstrel's harp or lyre formed an external accompaniment to a Lyric. However unpolished the language of the song, it was made musical by the voice of the singer keeping tune with the sound of the instrument. The subject matter also was of little importance so long as the singer's voice could give it the right emotional effect. Later ages discovered the rhythmic possibilities of the words themselves unassisted by music. The Elizabethans, in particular, were past masters of the art of investing words with the hig...
