Narrative poetry
The document discusses different types of narrative poetry such as ballads, epics, and medieval romances. Ballads narrate stories in short stanzas and can be traditional or modern. Epics are long poems that narrate the deeds of legendary figures and past histories. Medieval romances tell tales of famous kings and knights featuring Christian morals. The document also covers dramatic poetry which is performed on stage using props, lights and music. Examples of dramatic poetry include comedies, morality plays, and mystery plays. Shadow plays use puppet shadows to enact stories accompanied by music.
Dramatic monologue
This document provides an overview of dramatic monologues in literature from ancient Greece to the modern era. It discusses how dramatic monologues have been used in poetry and drama over time, with examples from works like The Idylls of Theocritus, Ovid's Heroides, Shakespeare's A Lover's Complaint, poems by Wordsworth, Coleridge and Keats, and modern works by Eliot and Pound. The key characteristics of a dramatic monologue are that it is a long speech by a single character without interruption, where the speaker reveals insights about themselves through their words to a real or implied audience. Dramatic monologues allow writers to provide psychological insights into their characters.
The Ballad
This document discusses the origins, structure, and evolution of ballads. It notes that ballads originated as oral folk songs typically composed and passed down in frontier societies between the 18th-19th centuries. Ballads have simple language, tell narrative stories through verses with a repeating rhyme structure, employ repetition, include dialogue between characters, and are told from a detached third-person perspective. The document also outlines different types of ballads and traces their development from oral traditions to printed broadsides to literary ballads composed by poets in the 19th century that continued the ballad form.

John dryden, an intro
John Dryden was an influential English writer during the Restoration period who made important contributions to literary criticism as a neoclassicist. Some of his major works of criticism include An Essay of Dramatic Poesy, in which he defended English dramatists and tragi-comedy plays. He also wrote prefaces and dedications for his translations of classical works where he advocated for certain poetic forms and defended his own creative choices. However, his criticism was sometimes inconsistent or repetitive as it was scattered across several prefaces rather than presented in a systematic treatise.
Dramatic poesy- French vs English
This document compares and contrasts the dramatic styles of French and English plays according to John Dryden. It notes several key differences:
- French plays strictly observe the classical unities of time, place and action, keeping the drama focused on a single location and storyline over a short period of time. English plays sometimes have subplots and multiple storylines occurring in different places that can confuse the audience.
- French plays devote attention to developing a single main character, while other characters are secondary. English plays sometimes have multiple important characters.
- The French are said to modify historical stories artfully through fiction, while still teaching lessons, whereas English dramatists may distort history more for dramatic purposes.
- In general
Narrative poetry
Narrative poetry tells long stories through verse. It focuses on the progression of events and settings. Common forms include ballads, epics, lays, and medieval romances. Ballads are folk stories passed down orally and set to music. Epics are long heroic poems like The Iliad and Beowulf that portray adventures. Lays are medieval rhyming stories of around 1,000 lines. Medieval romances depict idealized adventures of kings and teach morality. Awit and korido developed in the Philippines, influenced by medieval romances and Spanish ballads.

Classical poetry (Chaucer's style and versification)
Chaucer lived during the medieval period and was influential in developing the English language. He had a descriptive, narrative, and reflective writing style characterized by short, simple sentences and use of colloquial language, expressions, and philosophical maxims. As a skilled poet, Chaucer experimented with different verse forms, following 16 meters and writing in both verse and prose, making use of techniques like rhyming lines, heroic couplets, and iambic pentameter. His work helped mature the English language.
Crites view on ancient and modern dramatist
The document summarizes Crites' views on ancient and modern dramatists. According to Crites:
1. The ancients had a special genius for drama and closely observed nature, faithfully representing it in their works. Their dramas also observed the unities of time, place and action.
2. The ancients were more honored for drama than any other branch of knowledge.
3. While moderns have progressed in fields like science, their dramas are not as suitable honored or carefully crafted. Modern dramas often violate the unity of time and action and are not a natural or true representation of nature like the ancients.

Milton’s grand style
Milton's Paradise Lost is considered his magnum opus and helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time. Milton employs a grand and elevated style in Paradise Lost, using pompous and elaborate language to match the lofty themes of the epic. Some key characteristics of Milton's style include his ability to depict immense scenes through sublime writing, his use of epic similes following Homeric and Virgilian tradition, his skilled employment of blank verse, and his incorporation of Latinized words and sounds. In conclusion, Milton's writing was influenced by both Renaissance and Puritan ideals.
The Ballad
A ballad is a short narrative poem, usually around 50-60 lines, that tells a story in rhyming verse meant to be sung. It has an impersonal tone and common features include dealing with themes of war, love, or everyday experiences. Ballads are written in a fourteener line structure with 8 syllables in the first and third lines and 6 syllables in the second and fourth lines of each stanza. There are traditional ballads composed by unknown poets and literary ballads imitating the traditional form.
Lyrical poems and ballads
The document defines and describes the characteristics of a lyric poem and a ballad. A lyric poem is a short, non-narrative poem that expresses personal thoughts and emotions from the speaker's point of view. It does not tell a story and focuses solely on the speaker's feelings. A ballad is a short narrative poem intended to be sung, which tells a concise story using imagery rather than description, often featuring repetition for dramatic effect. Both lyric poems and ballads typically use themes of nature, love, life, and intimacy and employ poetic structures like rhyme and meter.

The ballads
A ballad is a narrative poem that was originally set to music and created in medieval France. Ballads tell a simple story through repetition and rhyme and usually have a refrain. They were popular in Britain until the 19th century. Common features of ballads include a narrative, few main characters, strong rhythm and rhyme, and division into verses. Some famous examples of ballads are listed.
Language of Elizabethan Drama
The document provides an overview of Elizabethan drama conventions including pronouns, verb forms, iambic pentameter, rhymed and blank verse, and how playwrights would "cheat" to make prose fit the meter by rearranging words, using contractions, and omitting words. It notes that poetry was used for upper class characters and discussions of love while prose represented everyday speech of lower class characters.

Ballad
The document discusses the origin and characteristics of ballads. It states that ballads derive from medieval French dance songs and were a form of popular poetry and song in Britain and Ireland from the late medieval period to the 19th century. Ballads tell simple narrative stories in short stanzas and were passed down orally at first before being written. They typically feature themes of love, violence, the supernatural and historical figures and are characterized by their singable nature, universal themes, and use of everyday language.
Shakespeare's rhyming couplet
A couplet is mostly used by an author to provide entertainment and make the content of the speech more interesting. I believe it is inserted by Shakespeare to provide clarity to the audience as well as to provide a brief relief from some of the difficult terminology and symbolism that he uses in his plays.
The ballad
The document discusses different types of narrative poetry, focusing on the ballad form. It notes that ballads began as oral traditions and were later written down. There are three main types of ballads: traditional ballads composed anonymously and passed down orally; broadside ballads printed on single sheets addressing current events; and literary ballads written by educated poets imitating traditional forms. Traditional ballads use repetition, incremental repetition, rhyme and formulaic phrases to aid oral transmission and recollection. They tell dramatic stories in a brief and impersonal manner focused on action with little character development.
Sonnets & its kinds
This document provides information about sonnets and their types. It defines a sonnet as a 14-line lyric poem written in iambic pentameter. It introduces the two main types of sonnets: the Petrarchan sonnet, which has an octave and sestet structure, and the Shakespearean or Elizabethan sonnet, which has a three quatrain structure followed by a couplet. It provides an example of Shakespeare's famous Sonnet 18 to illustrate the Shakespearean form.
Types of sonnets
The document describes six different types of sonnets: Petrarchan, Shakespearean, Spenserian, Curtal, Miltonic, and Terza Rima. The Petrarchan sonnet has an octave rhyme scheme of abbaabba and a sestet of cdecde/cdccdc. The Shakespearean sonnet has three quatrains of abab cdcd efef and a couplet of gg. The Spenserian sonnet modifies the Petrarchan form with a rhyme scheme of abab bcbc cdcd ee.
Petrarch
Francis Petrarch was an Italian scholar, poet, and humanist born in 1304 in Arezzo, Italy. He studied in Montpellier and Bologna where he took an interest in writing, Latin literature, and law. In 1341, he was invited to Rome where he was crowned as poet laureate, and he wrote hundreds of sonnets and poems, two of his most famous being "Trionfi" and "Canzoniere". He was inspired by his unrequited love for Laura, a woman he met in 1327, and sought to capture human emotion in his works. Petrarch died in 1374 in Arqua, leaving behind a significant influence on literature
shakespeare
The document provides background information on William Shakespeare and his most famous play, Romeo and Juliet.

Christopher Marlowe made significant contributions to English drama in the late 16th century. He introduced higher level heroic subjects, brought characters to life with realistic qualities, refined the use of blank verse, and brought more unity to plays.

Overall, Marlowe advanced drama as an art form and influenced later playwrights like Shakespeare.

William Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 describes the physical features of the speaker's beloved in contrast to traditional poetic conventions. Through three quatrains and a couplet using iambic pentameter and an ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme, the speaker notes that his beloved's eyes are not like the sun, her lips are less red than coral, her breasts are dull brown rather than snow white, and her beauty cannot be compared to nature or goddesses through exaggerated praise. The poem challenges the traditional practice of using extravagant comparisons to describe physical beauty.

He states her breasts are not white like snow, her lips not red like coral. At the end, he says that despite these comparisons, she is unique and does not need to be compared to anything else. The analysis explains that the sonnet makes comparisons to highlight his mistress' individual qualities rather than try to praise her

Let Me Not to The Marriage of True Minds| Mayank R. Garg
This sonnet by William Shakespeare explores the theme of true love. Shakespeare describes true love as a union of souls that remains unchanged by obstacles or time. He uses metaphors to portray true love as permanent like a fixed lighthouse that guides ships in storms and the unchanging pole star that remains in place while other stars rise and fall. Shakespeare asserts that true love is immortal and not subject to time's effects on beauty or youth.

Elizabethan Age literature
The Elizabethan period saw a golden age of English literature. William Shakespeare and other playwrights like Christopher Marlowe flourished during this time. Shakespeare wrote famous plays such as Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth as well as over 150 sonnets. Other notable poets of the period included Edmund Spenser, who wrote The Faerie Queene, and Philip Sidney. The era also saw the rise of new literary forms such as the English sonnet and blank verse in plays. Overall, the Elizabethan age produced great works of poetry, prose, and drama that still influence English literature today.
English theater
English theater has a long history dating back to ancient Greek and Roman eras. Notable developments include William Shakespeare becoming one of the most influential playwrights in the English language in the 16th century. The theater genre was used to reflect society and culture through different periods. Key periods in the evolution of English theater include the Elizabethan era featuring playwrights like Christopher Marlowe, the Restoration period in the late 17th century bringing back moral comedies and heroic plays, and modern developments with playwrights like Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, and Caryl Churchill.
The Restoration age
After the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, English literature moved away from Puritan ideals towards more worldly concerns. The Age of Dryden was dominated by John Dryden, who perfected the heroic couplet in poetry, drama, and prose. Restoration drama featured comedies of manners that satirized the aristocracy, while tragedy focused on heroic themes. Prose evolved to be more precise and suited to scientific, historical and philosophical topics. John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress was a masterpiece of simple allegorical English prose.

This document analyzes Andrew Marvell's poem "To his Coy Mistress" as an example of his work as a love poet. It discusses how Marvell adopts the Petrarchan tradition of praising a mistress's beauty in hyperbolic terms. The poem uses a syllogistic structure to build an argument for why the lovers cannot spend unlimited time together. While following classical traditions of form and control, the poem expresses a passionate intensity through its metaphors and conceits. "To his Coy Mistress" stands out as Marvell's finest variation on the theme of seizing the day due to its witty language and perfect balance of passion and reason.
paper no3
William Wordsworth developed a theory of poetic diction in the preface to his Lyrical Ballads in 1802. He believed that the language of poetry should be the language of ordinary people, not a highly crafted poetic language. Poetry should use a selection of the real language used by men in a state of emotion or passion. Wordsworth wanted to use the language of common people to write about their lives and situations in a realistic way. He advocated using colloquial, vernacular words to depict characters and narratives from humble, rustic settings.
Glossary of Literary terms.

Paper no. 1
Christopher Marlowe made significant contributions to English drama as one of the first great English dramatists of the Elizabethan era. He introduced blank verse and tragic drama to English literature with plays like Tamburlaine, The Jew of Malta, Doctor Faustus, and Edward II. Marlowe advanced the dramatic medium of tragedy by focusing on his heroes' passions and individual greatness. His works had a pictorial, ecstatic quality and vitalizing energy that influenced later playwrights, especially Shakespeare. Marlowe was truly innovative and helped pave the way for drama to become a major art form in England.

Strong Form is the full form of word pronounced with stress.
Weak forms are sounds that become unstressed in connected speech and are often then pronounced as a schwa.

Representation of religious mindset in english poetry
Religion: Religion may be defined as a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements.
Poetry: Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.
Structuralism
Structuralism is the name that is given to a wide range of discourses that study underlying structures of signification. Signification occurs wherever there is a meaningful event or in the practice of some meaningful action. Structuralism first comes to prominence as a specific discourse with the work of a Swiss linguist, Ferdinand de Saussure, who developed a branch of linguistics called "Structural Linguistics." Saussure died before he was able to publish his material but his material came to us by his students. The theory was still at a developmental stage then--and has remained in a developmental stage ever after.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism refers to a psychological approach which emphasizes scientific and objective methods of investigation. The approach is only concerned with observable stimulus-response behaviors, and states all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment.
Role of psychology in content selection
Content is defined as “Information to be learned in school, another term for knowledge (a collection of facts, concept, generalization, principles, theories)”
Psychological foundation
Before 1870 psychology was not a separate discipline rather it was studies under philosophy.
Psychology today covers enormous fields and can be broadly classified into two groups
Applied Psychology
Basic Psychology
Applied psychology was again divided into many branches and Educational psychology is its Sub-branch.
Importance of psychology in pedagogy

Social Dialects
Social Dialects Varieties of language used by groups defined according to class, education, age, gender and a number of other social parameters.
Before exploring these factors in detail, it is important to draw attention to one particular interaction between social values and language use.
Language, Culture and Thought
The document discusses the relationship between language, culture, and thought. It makes three key points:
1. Language is a system of symbols that allows humans to communicate and transmit culture. Different cultures have different languages that reflect their worldviews.
2. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis proposes that the structure of a language influences its speakers' worldview or cognition. It exists in a strong version of linguistic determinism and weak version of linguistic relativity.
3. While language influences thought, strong determinist views have been criticized. Languages change, and speakers can conceptualize beyond their language's structure through manipulation of symbols. Thought is not fully constrained by any one language.
Language Planning, Pidgin and Creoles
The document discusses sociolinguistics and related topics. It begins by defining language planning, which involves governments deciding official languages. Next, it describes pidgins as contact languages between groups without a shared language used for practical purposes. When a pidgin becomes a community's native language, it evolves into a creole. Creoles have native speakers and are no longer restricted in use. The document concludes by explaining the post-creole continuum, where a creole evolves varieties ranging from basilects with more creole features to acrolects closer to the standard language.
Code switching
Code-switching occurs when a speaker alternates between two or more languages in a single conversation. It is most common in bilingual communities, where speakers will sometimes switch between languages depending on the topic, situation, or person they are speaking to. For example, two people conducting business in English in Tanzania might switch to Swahili for more personal discussions. Code-switching can fulfill communication needs when a speaker is less fluent, express solidarity with a social group, or exclude others who don't understand the second language.

Marlowe's Use Poetic Power
- 2. o Critics recognized Marlowe as one of the greatest poets of English literature. o Marlowe’s poetic exellence was highly appreciated even by his contemporaries. o Swinburne pays tribute to him as: “he was the first great english poet ,the father of english tragedy and the creator of english blank verse” o the romantic quality and the lyrical simplicity of his great pastoral and the wealth of imagination in his unfinished narrative poem regarded him as one of the purest and greatest poets of england for all time. bsf1704470@ue.edu.pk 2
- 3. He was the first great english poet to make use of drama as a medium of poetic expression. Marlowe poetized the english drama or fused together the lyric and the dramatic elements of his contemporaries. In all of the marlowe ’s heroes faustus is the most poetic as he is the prototype of marlowe himself with his passionate love of beauty and yearning for sensuos pleasures. Poetry is an essential ingredient in marlowe’s plays that gives it quality and substance. bsf1704470@ue.edu.pk 3
- 4. This sensitiveness to the beauty of sound in his language is ,of course , felt more widely than in his use of proper names. There is the most skilful choosing of vowel and consonant to give the required effect. In his expressions , Marlowe is neither rhetorical nor obscure , but speaks with the highest , bright and lucid simplicity. Many of his happiest lines are woven from the words of everyday speech often a sequence of monosyllables. bsf1704470@ue.edu.pk 4
- 5. Even in its less exalted verse passages , as in chorus narratives and in some of the speeches , this play is almost entirely free from the rhetorical declamation ; the word fury which marked he early Tamburlaine. bsf1704470@ue.edu.pk 5
- 6. Doctor faustus shows most fully the extent of his mastery of the new dramatic measures. He introduced run-on-lines, varied the accents here and there and shifted the caesura _ that is pause about the middle of line to suit the sense and subject. He introduced a rhythm of extreme flexibility and power. bsf1704470@ue.edu.pk 6
- 7. Marlowe was credited for perfecting the blank verse to a great extent and giving it amazing force,variety and rhythm. He use blank verse as a suitable medium and develop it on right lines to serve the purpose of his poetical as well as dramatic genius. Conclusion: Marlowe ’s contribution to Elizbethan drama was great and he was greatest predecessor of shakespeare who also showed the way to him. So ,as a dramatist he could not perfectly develop his dramatic technique. bsf1704470@ue.edu.pk 7
- 8. Critics have pointed drawbacks in his plays that he had neglected both character and plot that are the most important element in a play. Marlowe’s poetic genious was regarded by all critics that he was superb and masterly in use of blank verse. Marlowe had a supreme gift of creating moments with the use of poetry that the most dramatic situations fails to satisfy.So, marlowe overrules as a poet than a dramatist. bsf1704470@ue.edu.pk 8
