Gerard Manley Hopkins
Gerard Manley Hopkins was an innovative Victorian poet who never saw his work published during his lifetime. He was a precise and difficult person who developed the concepts of inscape and instress. Inscape referred to the unique inner essence of each thing in the universe, while instress was the recognition of another's inscape, which Hopkins believed could lead one to recognize God as the divine creator of all inscapes. Hopkins employed a rhythmic style called sprung rhythm in his poetry to capture the inscapes of his subjects.
God's Grandeur
The document provides an in-depth analysis of Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem "God's Grandeur". It examines the literary and linguistic features of the poem through a close reading. Key elements analyzed include themes, form, syntax, lexis, imagery, phonology, and their overall effect on conveying the meaning and message of the poem.
God’s grandeur
The poem "God's Grandeur" by Gerard Manley Hopkins describes how God's grandeur is evident in nature despite mankind's neglect and destruction of the environment. The poem is structured as a Petrarchan sonnet, with an octet describing how humanity has "trod" and degraded the earth through trade and toil, making the soil bare. The sestet then states that despite this, nature is never spent and God's spirit still dwells in and renews creation each morning.
Not Waving But Drowning
The poem describes a drowned man who was calling for help but was misunderstood. While he appeared to be waving, he was actually drowning and crying out for assistance. After his death, others dismissively attribute it to the cold temperature rather than take responsibility for failing to rescue him when he called for help. In the end, the drowned man laments that he has been emotionally isolated and misunderstood his whole life, not just in his final moments of distress.
On His Blindness John Milton
The sonnet reflects on Milton's blindness and questions how he can still serve God without his sight. It describes his blindness as having his "light spent" before half his days. The sestet then provides a comforting response, saying God does not need works or gifts, and those who patiently accept God's will best serve him.

The poem praises God for creating the diversity of natural things in the world from skies and cows to fish, trees, birds, landscapes, and tools, which are all "dappled" or varied in color and pattern. It marvels at how God brings into existence things that have opposing qualities like fast and slow, or sweet and sour, and whose beauty is eternal unlike the changing natural world.
'Remember' by Christina Rosetti
This is a sample of pre, while and post reading questions about the poem 'Remember' written by Cristina Rosetti
The World Is Too Much With Us William Wordsworth
The poem expresses dismay that mankind has become too obsessed with materialism and commerce, neglecting our connection to nature. We no longer appreciate the natural world or see ourselves as part of the greater cosmos. The speaker feels "out of tune" with nature's rhythms and forces like the sea and wind that no longer stir our emotions. He laments this lost connection and wishes instead to have the spiritual fulfillment of paganism, with its intimate bond to nature that could alleviate his loneliness and sense of alienation from the modern world.
Sunstrike - Douglas Livingstone
A solitary prospector searching for diamonds in the desert becomes exhausted and dehydrated. While digging in a dry river bed, he finds an abundance of diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. However, the discovery comes too late, as he is now too weak from a lack of water. With death imminent, he hallucinates showering himself with the gems to quench his intense thirst, with carrion crows gathering to feed on his corpse.
Jane Austen
Jane Austen was an English novelist born in 1775 who wrote 6 major works exploring the expectations of women in early 19th century English society. She examined the difficulties women faced regarding inheritance, financial security, and finding a suitable husband. Her novels Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma were published during her lifetime, while Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously. Though she never married, Austen gained recognition as a brilliant observer of her society and its prejudices through her witty and insightful narratives.
The Second Coming William Butler Yeats
The poem describes a prophetic vision of impending chaos and disorder in the world. As the widening gyre of history causes things to fall apart, mere anarchy is loosed and innocence is drowned. While the intellectuals lack conviction, the passionate mob wields influence. The poet has a vision of a mysterious beast-like creature approaching, symbolizing a coming revelation or second coming that may bring further turmoil. The poem leaves the reader with an unanswered question about the nature of this rough beast approaching Bethlehem.
Remember
The document provides analysis of the poem "Remember" by Christina Rossetti. It summarizes the themes of dying, love, and forgetfulness explored in the poem.

The document analyzes the tone, structure, and themes within the poem.

It summarizes the poem, which explores the impossibility of the speaker living with her lover in life, death, resurrection, or judgment.

This document provides a comparative analysis of the poems "Felix Randal" by Gerard Manley Hopkins and "Evans" by Ronald Stuart Thomas. Both poems depict the relationship between a priest and a dying parishioner. Hopkins' poem shows empathy and comfort as the priest helps the blacksmith accept his fate.

The analysis explores key differences in tone, themes of darkness vs light, and the priests' differing abilities to provide spiritual support to the dying.
History of english literature
The document discusses Shelley's importance as a Romantic poet. Some key points made are:
- Shelley's poems focus on extreme human emotion and the wonders of nature, both hallmarks of Romanticism.
- Romantics valued emotion over reason and a return to nature. Shelley's "Ode to a Skylark" praises the bird's "unpremeditated art" and asks readers to listen, not analyze.
- Compared to earlier Romantics, Shelley portrayed nature as indifferent to human suffering and a backdrop for themes of man's insignificance.

1. It summarizes the poem's structure consisting of 5 sections that use collages of images and allusions to myths.

William Wordsworth
William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was a central figure of the Romantic period in English literature. He experimented with poetry and helped drive a literary revolution that incorporated democratic principles. In works like Lyrical Ballads, he featured scenes of common life and the language of ordinary people. He believed that nature, imagination, and emotion influenced human life and spiritual well-being. Two of his most famous poems, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and "Tintern Abbey," showcase how nature can transform one's mood and be recalled through vivid memories.
William Butler Yeats
William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet and playwright known for his use of symbolism and exploration of Irish nationalism. This document provides biographical details on Yeats and summarizes some of his major poems and themes. It discusses how Yeats adopted different personas and addressed nationalism, colonialism, and the construction of Irish identity. His poems "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" and "Easter 1916" imagine an idealized Ireland and reflect on the 1916 Easter Rising. "The Second Coming" presents a vision of the end of one historical epoch and the chaotic birth of another, represented by a frightening beast-like figure.
Victorianism
The Victorian Era saw major social, economic, and technological changes in England. Industrialization moved many women into paid work and expanded the voting rights for males. Intellectually, Darwin's theory of evolution was influential and education was seen as a path out of poverty. However, living conditions were difficult, with long work days, child labor, unsafe housing, and lack of sanitation in cities. Women had limited roles and rights, though access to education was growing. Debates addressed women's place in society and politics.
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf was a pioneering modernist author born in 1882 who experimented with stream-of-consciousness techniques in her novels and essays. In her influential 1929 essay A Room of One's Own, Woolf argues that women writers throughout history lacked the financial means and independence afforded to male writers, hindering their ability to develop and realize their full artistic potential. She speculates about how a hypothetical extremely gifted sister of Shakespeare named Judith may have been prevented from writing due to societal constraints facing women. The essay also examines how factors like poverty can impact an author's work and the relationship between anger over one's situation and the creative process.
Victorian Literature
During the Victorian Era, reading became a widespread leisure activity in middle and working class homes. Families would often read novels and magazines aloud together in the evenings. Literacy rates increased dramatically, reaching 97% by 1900, fueling a boom in printed materials. Novels were often initially published through serialization in magazines, allowing authors to alter their stories based on reader feedback. The novel became the most popular literary genre during this time, with major authors including Dickens, the Brontës, Eliot, and Hardy. Poetry and plays were also popular, though seen as more high-brow forms. Literature began exploring social issues and reform during this era of sustained peace and domestic focus.
Thomas Carlyle
Thomas Carlyle was a 19th century Scottish writer known for criticizing the materialism of the Victorian era. He feared that industrialization and laissez-faire economic policies would destroy individuality. While sympathetic to the plight of the working class, he believed they lacked leadership and advocated a return to paternalistic systems like feudalism. Carlyle felt industrial workers were isolated and oppressed by an unjust economic system that prioritized profit over welfare.
The Victorian Era2
The document outlines the major periods of the Victorian Era in England:
- Early period (1830-1848) was a time of dramatic economic and political change including reforms to expand voting rights and representation in Parliament. The Chartists movement advocated for further reforms.
- Middle period (1848-1870) was an age of improvement, prosperity, and innovation where industry, technology, and science flourished as seen at the Great Exhibition. Religious beliefs also diversified.
- Late period (1871-1901) saw changing attitudes as colonialism faced rebellions and the costs of empire mounted. Industrialization and scientific advances continued amid new global challenges to Britain's world power. Socialist movements
The Victorian Era
The Victorian Era was a time of immense social, economic, and technological change in Britain between 1837 and 1901. It was characterized by rapid industrialization, which led to huge gains in wealth but also poverty and social upheaval. Queen Victoria came to represent stability and tradition for the British people during this turbulent period of reform movements, fears of revolution, and shifting social structures. The era saw unprecedented improvements in technology like railways and printing presses that both united and divided society through new forms of communication and mass media.
Ted Hughes
This biography summarizes the life and career of the British poet Ted Hughes. It notes that he was born in 1930 in Yorkshire, England and attended Cambridge University where he studied archaeology and anthropology. Hughes published his first book of poems in 1957 and went on to publish over 90 books in his career. He was married to American poet Sylvia Plath from 1956 until her death by suicide in 1963. Hughes spent his life exploring themes of nature, violence, and the primitive forces within humanity through his poetry, gaining recognition as an acclaimed poet.
Tennyson
Alfred Tennyson was a 19th century English poet who served as Poet Laureate of Great Britain for over 40 years. He was born in 1809 in Lincolnshire and came from a family with a history of mental illness. He befriended Arthur Henry Hallam at Cambridge, but Hallam's early death had a profound impact on Tennyson and inspired some of his best known works like In Memoriam. Tennyson struggled with periods of mental breakdown but found success with his poetry. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1850 and lived a long life, passing away in 1892.
Seamus Heaney
Seamus Heaney was a Roman Catholic poet born in Northern Ireland in 1939. He published his first book of poems in 1966 and went on to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995. Many of his poems explore his cultural identity and relationship to Ireland during times of conflict and political turmoil. His poem "Punishment" was inspired by the discovery of a bog body in Ireland and references ritualized violence both in Iron Age cultures and 20th century Northern Ireland. The poem generates complex questions about collective violence, guilt, and the poet's own stance.
Romanticism
The Romantic Period in British literature was characterized by:
1) Nature-inspired poetry that portrayed nature as capable of altering human perception. Settings were often picturesque and exotic.
2) Literature that questioned authority and valued individualism and emotion over rationalism. Iconoclastic figures like Lord Byron's "Byronic Heroes" were popularized.
3) The ability to find extraordinary meaning in ordinary events and experiences through heightened emotion. Simple and direct language was often used to achieve this.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, philosopher, and critic born in 1772. He attended Cambridge University but left without a degree. He befriended Robert Southey and together they planned to start a commune in Pennsylvania. In 1797 he met William Wordsworth and produced much of his best poetic work. He struggled with opium addiction for many years, which affected both his health and productivity. Though he wrote most of his major works early in his career, Coleridge had a significant influence on English literature as a poet, essayist, and literary theorist.
Salman Rushdie
Salman Rushdie is an Indian-British author known for magical realism and addressing controversial topics. He was educated in India and England and has had four marriages. Rushdie's 1981 novel Midnight's Children won the Booker Prize. However, his 1988 novel The Satanic Verses led to protests and a fatwa calling for his death being issued by Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Rushdie's writings often explore the conflicts between religions and cultures.
Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde was an Irish writer born in Dublin in 1854. He excelled at Trinity College and Oxford University before moving to London, where he mocked Victorian notions of morality in art. Wilde was famous for his witty conversation and flamboyant style. In 1895, he had a famous trial and was imprisoned for homosexual acts after losing a libel case against the father of his lover. He lived his remaining years in France and died in 1900. His play The Importance of Being Earnest is a farce that uses humor to undermine Victorian social conventions through characters who live in a world of false appearances defined by their names and social identities.
Matthew Arnold
Matthew Arnold was a Victorian poet who explored themes of doubt, displacement, and melancholy in the modern world. In his poem "Dover Beach", he contrasts the present with the past through the image of the retreating sea. In the past, the "Sea of Faith" surrounded the world, but it has now retreated, leaving the world feeling exposed and uncertain. While the poem offers the possibility of finding meaning through human relationships, it ends by questioning whether even love can withstand the turbulence of modern life. In just a few lines, the poem conveys Arnold's bleak view of the loss of certainty in the modern age.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Mary Wollstonecraft was an 18th century British writer and advocate for women's rights. She led a troubled life but was self-taught and worked in various jobs. She is most known for her book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in which she argued for women's education and liberation. She observed the French Revolution firsthand and supported the overthrow of a bad king. Though her ideas were radical at the time, she is now considered one of the earliest feminist thinkers and her work helped advance women's rights.
James Joyce
James Joyce was an Irish novelist born in 1882 who is known for revolutionizing modernist literature. Some key points about his work include:
- His fiction disrupted conventional expectations about narrative certainty, heroism, and religious faith by offering a look at human consciousness in a world where grand beliefs were breaking down.
- Influences on his work included World War I, Ezra Pound's call to "make it new," and thinkers like Marx, Nietzsche, Darwin, and Freud who questioned traditional beliefs.
- His collection Dubliners, written between 1903-1907, contained 15 short stories meant to capture different aspects of Dublin life and portray "a chapter of the moral history of my country."
John Keats
The document provides biographical information about the English Romantic poet John Keats and analyzes some of his major works. It notes that Keats had a difficult life due to poor health and financial instability but was deeply in love with Fanny Brawne. It examines his distinctive use of sensuous language and mythology in poems like "Ode on a Grecian Urn" and "Ode to a Nightingale." These works contemplate themes of mortality versus artistic immortality through symbolic figures like the nightingale and urn. The document also provides context and summaries for his narrative poem "The Eve of St. Agnes," which contrasts religious ritual with earthly passion through the story of star-crossed lovers
John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill had a difficult childhood, as his father used him as a subject to test his theories of education, which caused Mill to have a nervous breakdown. As an adult, Mill fought against various forms of tyranny, including advocating for women's rights. He argued that women's subordination to men through practices like coerced marriage was a barbaric holdover that should be abolished. Mill believed that individuals require freedom to develop themselves on all sides according to their inner nature, rather than being shaped like machines to some external model.
