What is Literature?

Literature is mirror of society because it gives an image, but image is not necessarily a true image. The Image can be distorted in reality or perceived as distorted by society as whole literature tends to focus on subject current to societal engagement. Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become. Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.

Robinson Crusoe Film Screening

Robinson Crusoe We have watched movie in our Department.  So I  write on Robinson Crusoe. Crusoe washes up on an uninhabited island on the North American coast. He lives there for twenty-eight years documenting his physical and spiritual growth in his journal. Then one day a British ship sails by the island, and he's rescued. In the mid 17th century, Robinson Crusoe begins his career as a sailor, against the wishes of his parents, who would prefer him to go into law. Crusoe survives a deadly shipwreck in the Caribbean and manages to set up a camp for himself on an uninhabited island. Much of the story documents the time he spent building his shelter and other things to make his life more comfortable, his gardening, goat raising, and hunting, as well as his religious reflections. Many years after the shipwreck, Crusoe rescues a prisoner from a nearby island. He names this man Friday, converts him to Christianity, and enjoys his company. Later, he sees

Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads

Wordsworth    What is the Basic Diffrence between the poetic creed of "classicism' and "Romanticism"? Classicism means intellect is the guiding force and Romanticism means Imagination is the guiding source Classicism is the Imitation or use primarily of the style and aesthetic principles of ancient greek and Roman classical art and literature the term "Neoclassicism is often use in referring to revivals of classicism. Romanticism is movemnt in the literature that lasted from about 1750 to 1870 ,charactersed by reliance on the imagination and subjectivity of approach freedom of thought and expression and idealization of nature. Why does wordsworth say "what is poet? rather than who is Poet?"  A poet is a man speaking to men,endowed with more lively sensibility,moreenthusiasm and tenderness , who has grater knowledge of human nature, and more comprehensive soul , who rejoice more than other men in the spirit of life, habitually impelled t

Dryden-An essay of Dramatic Poesy

DRYDEN Do you any difference between Aristotle definition of Tragedy and Dryden's Definition of Play? Aristotle says that Tragedy is an imitation of an action while Dryden says that Play is a Lively Image of Human Nature. According to Aristotle pity and fear are used in Tragedy to purify the emotions of mankind whereas Dryden says that passions and humour are used to delight and instruct mankind.  Aristotle definition has ended with "catharsis" while the definition of Dryden has 'delight' If you are supposed to give your personal prediction, would be on the side of the Ancient or Modern? please give reason The Ancient drama is superior because the Ancients closely observed Nature and Fathful represented. Do you think that the arguments presented in the favour of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate ? No,I do not favour  of French plays because English plays are represents  full of entertainment and offer an element of surp
