The document discusses the concept of "suspension of disbelief" which refers to a reader's willingness to accept fantastical elements in a story. It was coined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge who said readers would suspend judgement of implausible narratives if the writer infused human interest and truth. In the 20th century, the phrase was used more loosely to imply it was the reader's responsibility. Coleridge introduced the concept to explain how modern audiences could enjoy stories involving the supernatural.

The Preface to the Lyrical Ballads is an essay, composed by William Wordsworth, for the second edition of the poetry collection Lyrical Ballads, and then greatly expanded in the third edition of 1802. It has come to be seen as a de facto manifesto of the Romantic movement. Wordsworth's theory of poetic diction

William Wordsworth introduced new themes and styles of poetry in his Lyrical Ballads collection in 1798. In the preface, he argued that poetry should be written in the ordinary language of people, not the highly crafted poetic language typically used. He believed poets should select words from the common language of men but refine it, giving it color through their imagination. Wordsworth sought to move away from the neoclassical poetic tradition and write poems in language as it was truly used by people.Longinus The sublime

Matthew Arnold's essay criticizes poetry and criticism. He argues that poetry will provide enduring comfort through its ideas. Arnold proposes evaluating poetry through "real," "historic," and "personal" estimates. The "real estimate" judges poetry objectively based on creative merit, while the "historic estimate" prioritizes historical context over artistic value. The "personal estimate" relies on subjective tastes. Arnold advocates the "touchstone method" of comparing works to classics like Homer, Dante and Shakespeare to assess poetic quality. He analyses various poets like Chaucer, Dryden and Pope through this framework.The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot

This document provides a summary of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1817 work Biographia Literaria. It discusses that the work is a critical text divided into 24 chapters where Coleridge presents his views on the nature and functions of poetry. Specifically, it examines Coleridge's definition of a poem as an "organic whole" and his distinction between imagination and fancy. It also analyzes Coleridge's concept of primary imagination as the living power that mimics divine creation and shapes perception, as well as his description of the imagination's "esemplastic" ability to shape disparate ideas into one coherent whole.I.A. richards criticism

I.A. Richards was an influential 20th century British literary critic who helped pioneer New Criticism. He emphasized close textual analysis and believed criticism should be empirical and focus solely on what is in the text rather than external factors. Richards developed techniques for analyzing how words, metaphors, rhythm and context contribute to a work's meaning and emotional effects. He also explored literature's psychological impacts and believed it could provide readers with emotional balance and organization. Richards' works and experiments analyzing anonymous poems without context helped establish Practical Criticism as a new approach to literary study.The Study of Poetry - Matthew Arnold

Matthew Arnold viewed poetry as the "criticism of life" that is governed by poetic truth and beauty. He believed the best poetry has seriousness of substance combined with superior style and diction. Arnold analyzed poets using his "touchstone method" of comparison and advocated for disinterested criticism. However, critics argue he did not always practice disinterested criticism and overemphasized morality. Overall, Arnold made significant contributions to literary criticism through his analysis of poets and emphasis on poetry's relationship to interpreting life.Willing suspension of disbelief by samuel taylor coleridge

This document provides an overview of Northrop Frye's theory of archetypes in literary criticism.

Matthew Arnold was a 19th century English poet and critic. In his famous work "The Study of Poetry", Arnold argues that poetry has a higher purpose to interpret life, provide consolation, and sustain humanity as science and philosophy prove unstable. He believes poetry will increasingly be turned to for its spiritual and intellectual benefits. Arnold advocates for a high standard and strict judgment of poetry, assessing it based on the seriousness of its subject matter and excellence of style. He promotes looking to classical poets like Homer and Milton as the best models of poetry's "grand style".Aristotle's Poetics - Epic And Tragedy

Sidney's "Apology for Poetry" argues that poetry is a divine and socially useful art form. It summarizes Sidney's main points that poetry: (1) is the first form of education and instruction for humanity; (2) acts as a channel for divine inspiration; and (3) can teach virtue while delighting readers more effectively than history or philosophy. The work refutes claims that poetry is a lie, unprofitable, or leads to sin by asserting poetry's noble aim to inspire readers rather than corrupt them.711 supernatural elements in coleridge

Coleridge refined the supernatural in poetry, making it more subjective and psychological rather than objective and sensational. In works like The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the supernatural is a subtle, slowly revealed atmosphere rather than sudden shocking events. Coleridge presented the supernatural as a psychic phenomenon experienced through the mind, conveying horror through the reactions it causes rather than directly depicting supernatural sights. He also humanized supernatural incidents and characters to make them more realistic and convincing. Overall, Coleridge revolutionized the use of the supernatural in poetry by presenting it as a subtle, mysterious influence on the mind rather than a source of crude thrills.T. s. eliot

It summarizes key terms from formalism such as objective correlation, dissociation of sensibility, close reading, and defamiliarization. Formalism, which included Russian Formalism and New Criticism, focused on the specific literary devices and characteristics of a text rather than using literature as a window to the real world. The document also discusses how formalism viewed poetry as using language in a way that reveals universal truths through close reading and evokes meanings beyond direct experience.The second coming

1. In the 18th century, literature embodied the values of the upper classes and helped unite the middle and upper classes after the civil war.
2. In the 19th century, literature emerged as a distinct concept during the Romantic period, focusing on imagination and creativity rather than just technical writing. Major romantic poets also had political and philosophical influences.
3. In the 20th century, the study of English literature grew to instill values in the middle class and pacify workers, as religion failed to serve as an ideology. It became a way to transfer moral law and nationalism during wartime.Romanticism
RomanticismAbdel-Fattah Adel

Romanticism arose in the late 18th century as a response to Enlightenment ideals. It valued human subjectivity, emotion, nature, imagination and the sublime. Two of its main figures were William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Wordsworth found inspiration in nature and the imagination. His Lyrical Ballads used everyday language. Coleridge distinguished imagination from fancy and viewed imagination as a power that completes understanding. Both poets emphasized the difference between poetic and prose language.An introduction to England Novel: How and Novel emerged

The novel originated from earlier prose forms like romances and novellas. Romances told stories of knights and their adventures, while novellas were short prose tales. The first English novels were Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe in 1719 and Moll Flanders in 1722. The rise of the novel in the 18th century was due to a rise in realism and a demand for literature reflecting middle-class lives. It was also fueled by the growth of a middle class with more leisure time and money to spend on books, the availability of printed materials like newspapers, and the decline of drama as a popular literary form. Women readers in particular contributed to the popularity of the novel.So what exactly is this play all about

Major developments included the debate around rhyme vs. classical meters being settled in favor of rhyme. Sidney's "Apology for Poetry" defended imaginative art against moralists. Criticism was dominated by classical models through the 18th century before the Romantics advocated for more freedom. The eras of English criticism discussed include the Elizabethan/Milton period typified by Sidney, Restoration to French Revolution led by Dryden and Johnson, and the modern period exemplified by critics like Lamb, HazEmily Dickinson & Romanticism

English literature is the literature written in the English language, including literature composed in English by writers not necessarily from England; for example, Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Joseph Conrad was Polish, Dylan Thomas was Welsh, Edgar Allan Poe was American, J. R. R. Tolkien was born in the Orange Free State, V.S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad, and Vladimir Nabokov was Russian, but all are considered important writers in the history of English literature. In other words, English literature is as diverse as the varieties and dialects of English spoken around the world. In academia, the term often labels departments and programmes practising English studies in secondary and tertiary educational systems. Despite the variety of authors of English literature, the works of William Shakespeare remain paramount throughout the English-speaking world.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.Rass MELAI : an Internet MELA Quiz Prelims - El Dorado 2025

Suspension of disbelief
- 1. Suspension of Disbelief Name: Ibrahim L. Soliman
- 2. • Suspension of disbelief or "willing suspension of disbelief" is a formula for justifying the use of fantastic or non-realistic elements in literature.
- 3. • It was put forth in English by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who suggested that if a writer could infuse a "human interest and a semblance of truth" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgement concerning the implausibility of the narrative.
- 4. • The phrase "suspension of disbelief" came to be used more loosely in the later 20th century, often used to imply that the onus was on the reader, rather than the writer, to achieve it..
- 5. • It might be used to refer to the willingness of the audience to overlook the limitations of a medium, so that these do not interfere with the acceptance of those premises
- 6. •These fictional premises may also lend to the engagement of the mind and perhaps proposition of thoughts, ideas, art and theories.[1]
- 7. Coleridge's original formulation • Coleridge coined the phrase in his Biographia Literaria, published in 1817, in the context of the creation and reading of poetry.
- 8. • Chapter XIV describes the preparations with Wordsworth for their revolutionary collaboration Lyrical Ballads(first edition 1798), for which Coleridge had contributed the more romantic, Gothic pieces including The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
- 9. • Poetry and fiction involving the supernatural had gone out of fashion to a large extent in the eighteenth century, in part due to the declining belief in witches and other supernatural agents among the educated classes, who embraced the rational approach to the world offered by the new science.
- 10. • Alexander Pope, notably, felt the need to explain and justify his use of elemental spirits in The Rape of the Lock, one of the few English poems of the century that invoked the supernatural. Coleridge wished to revive the use of fantastic elements in poetry.
- 11. • The concept of "willing suspension of disbelief" explained how a modern, enlightened audience might continue to enjoy such types of story.
- 12. Thank you for share.
