The document discusses the history and evolution of post-war English literature from 1945-1990. It covers several key trends: 1) the commercialization of publishing and expansion of literary criticism in universities, 2) the rise of new media and claims of literature's decline, and 3) the growth of women's writing and post-colonial literature in English. Modernism introduced experimentation while traditional realism remained influential, and post-modernism emerged from writers navigating both approaches. Feminism and post-colonial issues also impacted English literature in this period.

The document discusses the history and evolution of post-war English literature from 1945-1990. It covers several key trends: 1) the commercialization of publishing and expansion of literary criticism in universities, 2) the rise of popular audio-visual media and claims of literature's decline, and 3) the growth of women's writing and post-colonial literature in English. Feminism and post-colonialism impacted how critics viewed the canon. The post-war period also saw the coexistence of modernism and more traditional forms, with postmodernism emerging from writers' need to choose between these approaches.
Literary theories kel.2
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.

Famous Writers of the 19th Century
The Industrial Revolution ushered in a period of rapid societal transformation in the nineteenth century. The literary heavyweights of the time captured the turbulent century from a variety of perspectives. These writers provided a broad and interesting portrayal of a world in change through poetry, novels, short stories, and other genres.
One of these writers was Charles Dickens, the most well-known Victorian author. Dickens acquired work habits that enabled him to create long and engaging works, despite his rough upbringing. Most of Dickens's novels were published in serial form over weeks or months in newspapers.
Dickens used his writings to analyze and criticize the social structure of England at the time. He chronicled Victorian England's socioeconomic realities in famous novels such as Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. His writings frequently discussed class differences, poverty, and ambition that existed during the Industrial Revolution in London.
Edgar Allan Poe is another notable writer of the 19th century. Despite not living a very long life, his work positioned him as one of the most significant writers in history. Poe was the father of the short story form, a poet, and a critic.
His gloomy literary style was characterized by a fascination with the macabre and the mysterious. He influenced the development of genres, including horror and detective fiction. Poe's tumultuous background has hinted as to how he came up with the dark stories and poems for which he is most known today.
عرض تقديمي1
The document discusses how twentieth century novels were influenced by significant changes in British society resulting from World War I and the decline of the British Empire. The First World War had a major impact, lasting from 1914 to 1918 and resulting in millions of deaths. It greatly weakened Britain's control over its colonies. Additionally, the twentieth century saw the rise of nationalism, mass democracy, large-scale industrialism, and rapid technological developments, which increased the pace of social and political change. Novels began reflecting these turbulent times in contrast to the more stable nineteenth century.
Victorinism vs Modernism Paper_no._110A.pptx
This document compares and contrasts Victorianism and Modernism in literature. Victorianism refers to the era of Queen Victoria's reign from 1837-1901, characterized by religion, social values and emphasis on propriety. Modernism emerged in the early 20th century in response to World Wars and scientific advances, featuring experimentation in form and themes of individualism, absurdity, and disillusionment. Societally, Victorians strictly followed social hierarchies while Moderns were more liberated. Victorian literature focused on social commentary through realism, while Modern works used unreliable narrators and broke from tradition. Examples of each are discussed.
Victorian Era Background Notes.pptx
During Queen Victoria's 63-year reign from 1837-1901, England experienced immense social, economic and technological changes including the Industrial Revolution, expansion of the British Empire, and growth of cities. Victorian literature reflected both the positives of this progress as well as the resulting social problems like urban poverty. Writers from Tennyson to Dickens to Hardy questioned whether divine order still existed in the modernizing world and attacked the hollowness of the upper classes. By the late Victorian era, society faced new intellectual influences like Darwinism that further challenged traditional beliefs.
Final Thesis
This document provides background on Clement Attlee's role in the partition of India and the historiography surrounding this event and post-war Britain. It discusses how Attlee, as a member of the Simon Commission and Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, was well-positioned to help solve the "India problem" as prime minister. While overseeing India's transition to independence, Attlee sought to maintain unity but ultimately approved the Radcliffe Commission that divided India. However, Attlee has been largely left out of histories of partition and post-war Britain, which are rarely discussed together despite occurring simultaneously. Connecting these histories through Attlee is key to understanding Britain at this time.
Week 1 paper
The document summarizes the major literary movements between 1865-1912 in America and how they responded to social forces during that period. It discusses realism and naturalism as two dominant styles that emerged after the Civil War to present realistic depictions of everyday life. Realist authors like Howells and James sought to portray American society objectively and show the effects of rapid industrialization and immigration. Their works commented on and critiqued the moral difficulties of a changing culture. Naturalism further developed realism's objective style to interpret perspectives on how heredity and environment influence people. The document also outlines other movements like symbolism, stream of consciousness, and modernism that emerged during this time period.
