Portrait of John Donne Portrait of John Donne John Donne, detail of an oil painting by an unknown artist, after Isaac Oliver, c. 1616; in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Courtesy of the National Portrait Gallery, London Their work is a blend of emotion and intellectual ingenuity, characterized by conceit or “wit”—that is, by the sometimes violent yoking together of apparently unconnected ideas and things so that the reader is startled out of his complacency and forced to think through the argument of the poem.

Aristotle poetics

1..I don't agree with Plato's objection, because the freedom of expression is the fundamental right for everyone , but in India ORTHODOX people don't tolerate the freedom of expression. Ex.

Post-truth

Introduction The oxford word of the year 2016 was “Post Truth” which means “Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Are we living in a post-truth world, where “alternative facts” replace actual facts and feelings have more weight than evidence?

In 1590, Spenser brought out the first three books of his most famous work, The Faerie Queene, having travelled to London to publish and promote the work, with the likely assistance of Raleigh. He was successful enough to obtain a life pension of £50 a year from the Queen. He probably hoped to secure a place at court through his poetry, but his next significant publication boldly antagonised the queen's principal secretary, Lord Burghley , through its inclusion of the satirical Mother Hubberd's Tale. He returned to Ireland. In 1594, Spenser's first wife had died, and in that year he married Elizabeth Boyle, who was much younger than hi
