On the Sublime (Greek: Περì Ὕψους Perì Hýpsous; Latin: De sublimitate) is a Roman-era Greek work of literary criticism dated to the 1st century AD. Its author is unknown, but is conventionally referred to as Longinus (/lɒnˈdʒaɪnəs/; Ancient Greek: Λογγῖνος Longĩnos) or Pseudo-Longinus. It is regarded as a classic work on aesthetics and the effects of good writing. The treatise highlights examples of good and bad writing from the previous millennium, focusing particularly on what may lead to the sublime.

An Apology for Poetry[7] (also known as A Defence of Poesie and The Defence of Poetry) – Sidney wrote the Defence before 1583. It is generally believed that he was at least partly motivated by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright who dedicated his attack on the English stage, The School of Abuse, to Sidney in 1579, but Sidney primarily addresses more general objections to poetry, such as those of Plato. In his essay, Sidney integrates a number of classical and Italian precepts on fiction. The essence of his defence is that poetry, by combining the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, is more effective than either history or philosophy in rousing its readers to virtue. The work also offers important comments on Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage. from wikipidea
Poetry, he wrote in the Preface, originates from ‘the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’ which is filtered through ‘emotion recollected in tranquillity’.

Thoughts-1984 to 2014-on the Metaphysical PoetsRon Price
When I was teaching English literature to matriculation students at a polytechnic in Perth Western Australia back in the early 1990s, in my last decade employed as a FT teacher and lecturer, I had my first serious and systematic contact with the metaphysical poets. It was, though, only a brief contact, since I was also up-to-my-ears-and-eyes in many other aspects of literature, to say nothing of the history and psychology courses I was also teaching at the time in a vocational college which did not then, and does not now, expect its charges to be highly-tuned to the intricacies of poetry in particular and literature in general.
Man vs Nature in the Graphic Novel of Will Eisner’s A Contract with GodKaushal Desai
Literature has many concepts and genre to present and Ecology is no exception. Will Eisner's A Contract with God could more accurately be called a "graphic cycle" in that its narrative structure is based on four short interconnected stories, all linked by the common setting of a 1930s Bronx tenement house. The study takes the Graphic novel to many depth concepts and understanding. This work has short-story cycle than it does with the traditional novel. Through his composite structuring, Eisner links his Dropsie Avenue stories in such a way that the meaning of each individual story is largely contingent upon that of the others in the text. The study of A Contract with God explores the concept of man vs nature with the characters used in the work. The main character is a deeply religious Hasidic Jew named Frimme Hirsch who carves a contract with God on a stone tablet. When he wrote it, he was grieving the death of his daughter from leukemia. His argument with God and scolds him for the death of his daughter. This rage comes as man vs nature. One can’t deny the supremacy of nature and natural happenings but he argues with almighty take it to the level that it happened because of him. Study also focuses man vs nature have the bridge and cultural perspectives from man vs man side.
A Critical Study of Art & Science in The Select Graphic Novels of Alan MooreKaushal Desai
Art and science in literary work makes an essence for the post-modern era reading with an impact. In this research paper, the study takes place with Alan Moore’s writing of Art and Science with selected novels as “V for Vendetta”, “Watchman” and “Swamp Things.” In seeking to control their constituents, the fascist government ruling Moore and Lloyd’s vision of England has eradicated many of the arts from society. In the select novels deals with how the use if Sci-fi changed the phenomena of reading of literature with pop art. The extent of this artistic suppression is evidenced in V’s Shadow Gallery, where he seeks to preserve much of the art that has been removed from society. Much of the science in V for Vendetta is eerily similar to that of the Nazis during World War II, using members of “resettlement camps” as subjects for inhumane experiments and this can be very well presented in the paper with the theory of New Historicism. In comics/graphic novels as resources for postmodern science education by focusing on representations of modern scientific concepts in Watchmen's narrative themes and the unique capability of the sequential art medium to represent key concepts in postmodern science. And Swamp Things can change the perception of how culture and science can happen drastically to the humanity. Though the art and science of wring and creates a kind of genre that can take writing of this with visualize technique as well.
A Study of Culture and Identity Issues in Will Eisner’s Graphic Novel: "A Con...Kaushal Desai
Will Eisner’s A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories (1978) marked the beginning of a second phase in the writer-artist’s career. It has been called the ‘first graphic novel’ and has been hailed as a central text in the emergence of the ‘graphic novel’ as a cultural phenomenon. This paper presents the culture and identity issues in Will Eisner’s novel “A Contract with God”. The stories are thematically linked with motifs of frustration, disillusionment, violence, and issues of ethnic identity. Eisner uses large, monochromatic images in dramatic perspective, and emphasizes the caricatured characters' facial expressions; few panels or captions have traditional borders around them. Graphic art of “A Contract with God” is gigantically pictorial and described with social realistic conveys of new historicism and culturalism.

Edgar Allan Poe, the noted American Author, Poet, Editor, and Literary Critic. He considered as major part of observing the paranormal literature. Who gave a new way of establishing the work in sense of thinking of horror, which is now a days this genre is so popular. In other sense his tales of mystery and imagination is conveys the mind of something that is beyond something and not a normal person can think in the way that Edgar Allan Poe thinks. It’s interesting to study Edgar Allan Poe with going through his short stories and Poems. He observed Fantasy and defectiveness in America for that his way of writing based his invention of this. In which it gives the idea of how his mind reflects and as beyond thinker, he himself what wants to convey is so connective to this study of him.

Various concepts in the play "The Hairy Ape"Kaushal Desai
There are many things and concepts one can come across while reading of the play "The Hairy Ape". Here, I have tried to take major concepts in consideration with explanation through the play.
Chetan Bhagat’s The Girl in Room 105: Critically Appreciate Kaushal Desai
Like any other book, “The Girl in Room 105” title also contains a number likes ‘2 States’, ‘Five Points Someone’, ‘Revolution 2020’ etc. Having a number in the title has become the trademarked style for Bhagat. The book also has a lot of comedies for laugh and witty one-liners that you will enjoy.
However, something is different in the book. The book cover is not cartoonish like Bhagat’s other books. There is a photo of a real girl in the cover. The first impression from the cover is clear. This is also a romance book but with elements of mystery and tragic. There is no happy ending in the book this time.
One should think and discuss for this after reading the text and this PowerPoint presentation.
~quality or quantity?
~quality versus artificiality
~Human values or materialistic world?

~Writer is coming with humorous aspects. How it is to be dignify with the sarcasm and humorous sentiments of person is presently observed in the story.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

6. Ars Poetica: 3 parts
The treatment of
the subject-matter
of poetry
I. Poesis
Deals with form
II. Poema
Talks about the
poet
III. Poeta
7. ● Poetry is not mere imitation; it is a creative adaptation
● A poem must have an organic unity
● “Purple patch” – a brilliant or ornate passage in a literary composition,
usually in the midst of mediocrity
● Imagination should be exercised with discretion & moderation
● Language of poetry is higher than the language of common use
● Discretion in the use of words
● A genre should stick to its metre
I. Poesis (subject-matter of poetry)
8. ● Most elaborated section
● Plot
○ Based on old familiar stories. Novelty may be imparted by skilful
treatment
○ Into the “middle of things” (in medias res) (Homer)
○ Comic themes should not be treated in the vein of tragedy or
vice versa
○ All the incidents of the plot should have a logical connection
II. Poema (form of poetry)
9. ● Characterization
○ Characters true to life, consistent
○ The quality of characters must fit their respective ages
● The dramatist must know what to represent on the stage and what to
report to the audience

● As is painting, so is poetry (“Ut pictura poesis”; they have equal
merit)
● Poetic inspiration / madness is absurd
● Horace, with typical self-mockery, acknowledged that he was not the
most inspired of poets.
III. Poeta (the poet)
