Metaphysical Poet John Donne
John Donne was a leader of the Metaphysical poetry movement in 17th century England. This movement revolted against the outdated conventions of Elizabethan poetry, which had become artificial and lacked intellectual substance. As a Metaphysical poet, Donne wrote poems that were remarkable for their passionate intensity, intellectual complexity, and dramatic qualities. He drew on his own spiritual and romantic experiences. The Metaphysical poets, including Donne, Richard Crashaw, George Herbert, and Henry Vaughan, were known for their use of ingenious and unconventional conceits, arguments, and wit in their poetry.
Notes: The Waste Land (part one&two)
The poem The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot documents the spiritual and intellectual decline of post-WWI Europe. It uses fragmentation in form and allusions to depict a fragmented society. The poem references works like Dante's Divine Comedy and myths to critique modern life's lack of meaning and connection to tradition. Though initially met with hostility for its unconventional style, it came to influence other modernist works and be seen as a reflection of its lost era.
Johnson as a critic o shakespeare
Dr. Johnson praised Shakespeare in his "Preface to Shakespeare" for his fidelity to human nature and realistic portrayal of characters. Though he found faults in some of Shakespeare's plots and comic scenes, Johnson believed Shakespeare excelled at depicting the truths of human psychology and capturing the diversity of human passions and motives. While Shakespeare violated the classical unities of time and place, Johnson argued this was not really a fault, and that the unities were not essential to a good play. Overall, Johnson provided a largely balanced critique and is credited with recognizing Shakespeare's profound understanding of human nature.

While sublimity cannot be innate, it can be developed through instruction and reason. The document outlines Longinus's influential views on sublimity that shaped Romantic literature and criticism.
the Faerie Queene
The document discusses allegory in Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene. It explains that the poem has multiple allegorical levels, including a moral/Christian level representing abstract truths, a historical level allegorizing 16th century English religious history, and a biblical level allegorizing humanity's relationship with God. It then analyzes the allegorical meanings and significance of characters like Red Cross Knight, Una, and Archimago on the moral and historical levels. Finally, it discusses how Spenser uses the character of Archimago to allegorically represent hypocrisy in the Catholic Church and the deceptive illusions it used against England.

This document provides an overview of the formalistic approach to literary criticism. It discusses key concepts of formalism including an analysis of form over external contexts, the use of symbols and structures within a text, and New Criticism. It provides examples of how formalism can be applied to analyze elements like irony in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and symbolism in "Young Goodman Brown." Specifically, it examines Huck's narrative voice, the Mississippi River as a symbol, and the repetitive journey structure. For "Young Goodman Brown," it analyzes symbols like Faith's pink ribbons and the characters themselves as representing good and evil. The document aims to define formalism and demonstrate how it can be used to closely read and interpret literature.
Romantic Age
Neoclassical literature was written between 1660-1798 and focused on formality, reason, and imitating classical Greco-Roman styles. Romanticism emerged around 1750 and lasted until 1870, emphasizing imagination, emotion, individualism, and idealizing nature. William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge influenced the era with their collection Lyrical Ballads in 1798, stressing the importance of imagination over reason. This marked the transition between the Neoclassical and Romantic periods.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
