Which one do you
Like better?
What’s English literature?
 Narrow sense: anything that is written:
time tables, play’s dialogues, textbooks,
travel brochures and so on.
 Broad sense: The writing or the study of
English books, etc valued as works of art
(drama, fiction, essays, poetry, biography,
contrasted with technical books and
journalism).
The nature of good literature
 Good literature must seem lifelike and
meaningful. it is caused by its focus on the
central themes of all literature: life, truth, justice
and love.
 The originality of the works of art. Instances:
Hamlet and Machbeth were real historical
characters but then Shakespeare by his
craftsmanship and style made out of these old
figures and stories in a new and fascinating light
 It should be life-enhancing. Matthew Arnold said
about poetry as a criticism of life
 Some theories of Literature
1. imitative theory
2. expressive theory
3. affective theory
Imitative or “mimetic” theory
 This theory holds that art is an imitation of
something.
 In his Poetics, Aristotle (382-322 B.C) says, that a
tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious
and complete. it is not 100% imitation but a “re-
creation” or “re-presentation”.
The Expressive theory
 This theory holds that the artist is not essentially an
imitator but a man who expresses his feelings. According
to William Wordsworth, “poetry is the spontaneous
overflow of powerful feelings and “the poet’s job is to treat
things NOT AS THE ARE..but as they seem to exist to the
sense, the passion.” more than that it is an effort to pluck
the blindfold from our eyes and melt the ice around our
heart. It will deepen our sensibilities.
Affective theory
 Affective theory insists that the aim is not to
induce a temporary emotional state. But to induce
emotional state that will lead to action. Leo
Tolstoy said that emotion is not an end but a
means. Alexander Pope said that the aim or art is
to reform those whom it touches.
