Review of Harold Bloom's The Western Canon
Harold Bloom's book The Western Canon analyzes the books that constitute the Western literary canon. He divides the canon into four sections based on different historical periods: theocratic, aristocratic, democratic, and chaotic. Bloom believes canonicity is determined by a work's ability to be read and re-read over many years, raise universal themes, and demonstrate influence on later works. He uses interpretations of 26 representative writers to demonstrate how texts earn a place in the canon based on their "beauty and strangeness" which resists reductive interpretations. Bloom argues for preserving the aesthetic autonomy of literary works and the importance of the canon for literary education.
Bookpresentation Bloom's The Western Canon
Harold Bloom argues for the importance of the Western canon in his book The Western Canon. He claims that aesthetic value is autonomous from politics and morality, and that originality is key to inclusion in the canon. Bloom analyzes 26 influential Western writers from Shakespeare to Beckett. He sees the canon as providing a standard of cultural and individual thinking that is rarely expanded. However, some criticize focusing too much on tradition and not being open to new works or social perspectives.
Stylistics
Literary criticism in the past few years has come to realize the importance of studying the language of literature. This new approach, known as stylistics, links literary criticism to linguistics by analyzing texts using linguistic and statistical methods. Stylistics is the study and interpretation of texts regarding their linguistic and tonal style. It does not function autonomously but can be applied to understanding literature, journalism, and linguistics. Style refers to characteristic uses of language and impressions, while stylistics is the study of texts and their interpretation through a linguistic lens.

Wordsworth 1
The document discusses the Romantic Age in literature and the work of William Wordsworth. It notes that Aristotle did not classify literature as Classical vs. Romantic, but over time it became clear great literature could exist outside of Aristotelian rules. Wordsworth was a major English Romantic poet who helped launch the Romantic movement with his Lyrical Ballads, which declared poetry comes from recording spontaneous feelings and is "emotion recollected in tranquility".
Newspaper style
This document defines and describes English newspaper style. It notes that newspaper style aims to inform and instruct readers through specific lexical, grammatical, and phraseological conventions. The primary functions of newspaper style are to impart brief information on news items, press reports, articles, advertisements, and announcements. Headlines also aim to briefly inform readers about the news in concise syntactic structures. The document then provides examples and descriptions of different elements of newspaper style, including brief news items, headlines, advertisements, editorials, scientific prose, and official documents.
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.
cognitive stylistics
Cognitive stylistics analyzes language using theories from linguistics, cognitive science, and literary studies. It originated from the work of I.A. Richards in the early 20th century and draws from cognitive psychology. Some key theories used in cognitive stylistics include schema theory, cognitive metaphor theory, text-to-world theory, foregrounding theory, and mental space theories. Cognitive stylistics examines how language constructs worldviews in texts through an integrated analysis of linguistic and cognitive aspects.

The 3Rs of Stylistics
Intro to-stylistics
- Stylistics is the scientific study of style in written and oral texts through the examination of linguistic features like grammar, vocabulary, semantics, and phonology.
- It began in the 1950s and analyzes how these linguistic aspects influence readers' understanding and perception of texts.
- Early influential books and articles on stylistics applied linguistic analysis to literary criticism and focused on determining how language shapes readers' responses.
Songs Of The Righteous Spirit Men Of High Purpose Shishi
This document provides an overview of "men of high purpose" (shishi) in mid-19th century Japan and their tradition of composing Chinese poetry (kanshi). It discusses how shishi emerged as nationalist figures committed to imperial causes. Many shishi bonded through their shared practice of writing kanshi, which allowed them to situate themselves within the epistemic traditions of Chinese statesmen and draw connections to one another. Over time, shishi poetry became more self-referential and focused on contemporary Japanese issues. The production of kanshi thus served to both articulate shishi identity and foster connections among them.
Punctuations - English Language Report
The use of spacing, conventional signs, and certain typographical devices as aids to the understanding and correct reading, both silently and aloud, of handwritten and printed texts. The word is derived from the Latin punctus, “point.” From the 15th century to the early 18th the subject was known in English as pointing; and the term punctuation, first recorded in the middle of the 16th century, was reserved for the insertion of vowel points (marks placed near consonants to indicate preceding or following vowels) in Hebrew texts. The two words exchanged meanings between 1650 and 1750.
Aims and perspectives
This document discusses the aims and perspectives of stylistics. It defines stylistics as the study of literary discourse from a linguistic orientation, linking both linguistics and literary criticism. Stylistics mediates between these two disciplines as well as between English literature and the English language. The document examines different views of stylistics and how it can be used to better understand and teach literature.
School of Criticism(Stylistic)
Stylistics is a form of literary criticism that analyzes the linguistic devices and stylistic choices used in a text. It focuses on elements like diction, imagery, phonology, syntax, and other linguistic applications. Stylistics aims to provide more objective, rigorous analyses of literature by applying the principles of linguistics. While a technical subject, stylistic criticism can shed light on why certain devices are effective in poetry and suggest deeper interpretations through its analytical tools. It represents a promising area that bridges the fields of linguistics and literature.
The study of pragmatics
Pragmatics is the study of language in use and context. It examines how meaning depends on the context of an utterance, including knowledge of the speaker and listener, and the circumstances in which communication occurs. Unlike semantics, which examines meaning that is conventional, pragmatics considers both structural meaning and implicit intentions. It helps resolve ambiguities that arise from language use. Pragmatics studies phenomena such as implicature, speech acts, contextual elements, and ambiguity. Understanding context is essential to pragmatic competence in comprehending language.
Basic Elements of Prose
Prose is written or spoken language that follows the natural flow of speech in everyday grammatical structure, rather than a rhythmic structure like poetry. It comes in various forms like fiction, non-fiction, novels, short stories, memoirs, and autobiographies. Fiction is imaginative or made-up works, while non-fiction presents factual information. Short stories are brief works of around 1,000-20,000 words that focus on one main plotline. Novellas are longer at 20,000-50,000 words. Novels exceed 50,000 words and can have multiple plotlines. Autobiographies tell the author's life story from their perspective.
Three main aspects of stylistics
The study of modern stylistics can be divided into three main aspects:

1) William Wordsworth published a preface to Lyrical Ballad in 1798, presenting his poetic manifesto and discussing the nature and goals of his experimental collection of poems.
2) In the preface, Wordsworth explores what makes a poet, who their readers are, and what language they should use.
3) He argues that poetry is an activity that describes ordinary and rural life using the language of common men, in order to create a more immortal and experiential form of art.
Stylistics
Roman Jacobson helped establish stylistics through his work with the Moscow Linguistic Circle and Prague Structuralist Circle in the early 20th century. Stylistics grew as a discipline in the second half of the century, influenced by works such as Essays on Style in Language. Stylistics uses linguistic analysis to study literary texts and how readers interact with and understand the language in them. It aims to show how technical linguistic features in a work contribute to its overall meanings and effects.
Functional Styles
This document discusses different functional styles of language. It begins by defining functional style as a system of interrelated language means that serves a specific communicative purpose. The document then outlines some of the main functional styles according to a common classification system: scientific prose style, the style of official documents, publicistic style, newspaper style, and belles-lettres style. For each style, it provides examples and discusses typical linguistic features. For instance, it notes that the scientific prose style uses objective, precise language and employs terms, quotations and references. The style of official documents features terminology, special forms of address and encoding. Newspaper style relies on abbreviations, cliches and neologisms. Overall, the document analyzes

Russian formalism
Russian Formalism was a movement of literary scholars and linguists in Russia between 1916-1929 who developed innovative theories about literature. They focused on the formal and technical aspects of literature rather than its content. Over time, their perspectives evolved from seeing literature as mechanical assemblies of devices to understanding works as dynamic systems. They also studied literature as a social and communicative institution that changes over time through generations of writers and schools. Their work established literary studies as an autonomous field and emphasized developing precise concepts and hypotheses to describe and explain literary phenomena.
Japanese poetry
Japanese poetry has a long history and includes many forms. Some classical forms included waka, tanka, choka and sedoka. Renowned works from the Heian period include The Tale of Genji and The Pillow Book. Later forms included renga, haikai, haiku and senryu. Haiku evolved from hokku and focused on nature and seasons in 17 syllables. Senryu were similar but humorous. Haiga combined haiku with paintings.

Japanese literature is one of the major literatures of the world and includes classic works like The Tale of Genji from the 11th century. Traditional ceremonies in Japan mark important life events from birth to death as well as seasonal festivals celebrating harvests.
japanese_renga_poetry
Traditional Japanese poetry such as haiku and tanka follow specific syllable structures. A haiku has three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables focused on nature. Tanka are longer poems with a first stanza, called a hokku, matching haiku's structure, followed by a two line 7-7 conclusion. These forms originated as renga poetry where writers collaboratively added to each other's works.
Matsuo Basho (Haiku)
Matsuo Basho was a famous 17th century Japanese poet who is considered the greatest master of haiku poetry. He helped develop haiku from its original hokku form into its modern 5-7-5 syllable structure with references to nature and seasonal themes. Haiku conveys vivid sensory images and aims to capture a fleeting moment or impression, typically in 17 syllables arranged in 3 lines. Basho played a pivotal role in establishing haiku as an independent genre of poetry focused on brevity, intensity, and seasonal themes that has endured to this day.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

japan and china literature
- 1. Poetry of the world and suggested Readings
- 4. Haiku Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme. The term haiku is derived from the first element of the word haikai (a humorous form of renga, or linked-verse poem) and the second element of the word hokku (the initial stanza of a renga).
- 5. Matsuro Basho A master of the hokku, Matsuo Basho (1644- 1694) has helped readers achieve a deeper thought process through his works. Example:
- 7. CHINA
- 8. Tufu one of China’s greatest poets of the Tang dynasty. Tu Fu is often described as a poet-historian, and his works convey the emotional impact and import of political and social issues and register a range of private concerns, trials, and dramas. (Tu Fu’s poems) show the seamlessness of Tu Fu’s understanding of both the existential quality of a human life, and the moral necessity of a humane one.
- 9. It is Tu Fu’s ability to express clearly, daringly, the nature of his knowledge of himself that makes him the greatest of the great.
- 10. THE LITTLE RAIN by TU FU Oh, she is good, the little rain! and well she knows our need Who cometh in the time of spring to aid the sun-drawn seed; She waders with a friendly wind through silent nights unseen, The furrows feel her happy tears, and lo! the land is green. Last night cloud-shadows gloomed the path that winds to my adobe, And the torches of the river boats like angry meteors glowed. Today fresh colors break the soil, and butterflies take wing Down broidered lawns all bright with pearls in the garden of the King.
- 11. THANK YOU!
