The Romantic Age saw a new creative spirit emerge in English literature as exemplified by the poetry of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Writers of this period expressed enthusiasm for ideals of freedom and an ideal commonwealth. The essence of Romanticism was that literature should reflect spontaneity in nature and humanity. Poets like Wordsworth and Coleridge invested ordinary life and people with profound significance. While Scott, Byron, and Shelley had large audiences, Coleridge and Wordsworth best represented the Romantic genius. This was also an age of poetry, though some writers like Coleridge and Southey wrote more prose. Women also began to find success asA comparative study of wordsworth and coleridge as a romantic poets

William Wordsworth was a trailblazer of the Romantic movement in English poetry. He wrote about nature, mysticism, and rustic life in his poems. Nature served as a teacher for Wordsworth, and he believed people living close to nature were better suited for his poetry. His poems explored mystical revelations and pantheism, the idea that God is present in all things in the universe. Wordsworth received both praise and criticism from other poets and critics for his focus on simple, rustic themes and subjects found in nature.Coleridge's Views on Wordsworth's Poetic Creed

This document discusses Samuel Taylor Coleridge's views on William Wordsworth's poetic creed as presented in Wordsworth's work Lyrical Ballads and its preface.

However, Wordsworth's poems were accepted by critics and his number of admirers, including young men of strong sensibility, increased each year with admiration that was intense and even religious in its fervor.Cultural studies

- Classicism originated in Ancient Greece and valued philosophy, education, and independent thought. It influenced fields like astronomy, ethics, and politics.
- During the Renaissance, interest in Greek classics was revived as many works were translated from Greek to Latin. This re-birth of classical ideas influenced humanism with its emphasis on education and the heights of human knowledge.
- Enlightenment thinkers saw themselves as heirs to Greek classical thought and valued reason above religion. They believed humanity could progress through rationality, equality, and tolerance. Classical ideals came to inform theatre through concepts like the three unities and ballet through emphasis on order, balance, and symmetry.' Waiting For Godot- As an Absurd Theatre '

On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdies Midnights Children, Shame, and ...AJHSSR Journal
油
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdies novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
bastards of history, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdies three novels: Midnights Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.
